Learn how to enact justice-oriented pedagogy and foster students'
critical engagement in today's history classroom. Over the past 2
decades, various scholars have rightfully argued that we need to
teach students to "think like a historian" or "think like a
democratic citizen." In this book, the authors advocate for
cultivating activist thinking in the history classroom. Teachers
can use Teaching History for Justice to show students how activism
was used in the past to seek justice, how past social movements
connect to the present, and how democratic tools can be used to
change society. The first section examines the theoretical and
research foundation for "thinking like an activist" and outlines
three related pedagogical concepts: social inquiry, critical
multiculturalism, and transformative democratic citizenship. The
second section presents vignettes based on the authors' studies of
elementary, middle, and high school history teachers who engage in
justice-oriented teaching practices.Book Features: Outlines key
components of justice-oriented history pedagogy for the history and
social studies K–12 classroom. Advocates for students to develop
"thinking like an activist" in their approach to studying the past.
Contains research-based vignettes of four imagined teachers,
providing examples of what teaching history for justice can look
like in practice. Includes descriptions of typical units of study
in the discipline of history and how they can be reimagined to help
students learn about movements and social change.
