The preparation of social studies teachers is crucial not only
to the project of good education, but, even more broadly, to the
cultivation of a healthy democracy and the growth of a nation's
citizens. This one-of-a-kind resource features ideas from over 100
of the field's most thoughtful teacher educators reflecting on
their best practices and offering specific strategies through which
future teachers can learn to teach, thus illuminating the careful
planning and deep thinking that go into the preparation of the
social studies teachers. While concentrating on daily teaching
realities such as lesson planning and meeting national, state, or
provincial standards, each contributor also wrestles with the most
important current issues on educating teachers for today's
increasingly diverse, complex, and global society.
Features of this unique teaching resource include:
- Volume sections that are arranged by both disciplinary
organization and approach or activity.
- Thoughtful introductory section essays that conceptualize each
theme, providing a conscientious theoretical overview and analysis
of each individual section.
- Rich and concrete examples of best practice from some of the
field's most diverse and highly regarded scholars and teacher
educators
- An index that identifies the appropriate teaching level and
teacher education context and links the strategies and ideas that
are presented in the essay to the relevant INTASC and NCSS
standards for quick reference in classroom planning as well as
institutional development and implementation.
A much-needed addition to the field, this comprehensive volume
will be of value to any teacher interested in social studies or
diversity education across age groups and educational contexts.
