A critical question in social studies education is not whether
teachers develop and teach units of study, but what is in the units
of study teachers develop and teach. Curricular planning and
instruction must focus on what we teach in the social studies
classroom. It is not uncommon for students to experience fine units
about the westward movement and exit the fifth grade with little or
no geographic literacy. Most students leave middle school grades
unable to name even one person who made a difference in the history
of Indian people in the United States. After three to five years of
history classes, high school students routinely self-report that
history is boring. And it is the rare middle school graduate who
knows how to use a free enterprise economy for his or her benefit.
This book explains the content of nine areas in social studies. If
teachers know what history, biographical studies, and the United
States Constitution mean for instruction, they can increase the
probability of better-focused content in their social studies
instruction.
