In these times and for future generations, students must learn how
to analyze constantly changing issues, decipher media as truth or
fake news, and contest highly competitive, biased informational
sources. Students must develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes
necessary for leveraging their capacity as active citizens charged
with holding institutions accountable for truthfully addressing and
protecting civil liberties. Extending the Ground of Public
Confidence: Teaching Civil Liberties in K-16 Social Studies
Education is a book grounded in current scholarship and seeks to
address the need for a practical, user-friendly resource for
teaching civil liberties in K-12 social studies and teacher
education. This book brings together chapter-length discussions
about various issues, introduced first from historic perspectives
and then compared and described in modern terms. Such topics
include, though are not limited to, disputes surrounding freedom of
speech and religion, power issues, defending property rights,
debates on security of persons and privacy, free exercise of
assembly and expression, and the endless debate about who can and
cannot vote in U.S. elections. Each chapter contains
teaching-ready, inquiry-based learning activities framed by the
National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) College, Career, and
Civic Life (C3) Inquiry Arc (2013). Students (1) develop questions
and plan investigations; (2) apply disciplinary concepts and tools;
(3) gather, evaluate and use evidence; and (4) work collaboratively
to communicate conclusions and take informed action. Lesson ideas
engage learners across age groups and grade levels in learning that
fosters informed, sustainable actions aimed at upholding and
protecting civil liberties.
