Dedication to social justice teaching is important, yet putting
one's ideals into practice in American schools is a challenging
task. This book goes beyond theory and idealism to fully explore
the value and impact of implementing social action and social
justice activities in the elementary school classroom. Informed by
the experiences of more than forty teachers across the country,
this thoughtful resource: (1) examines how elementary teachers,
from inner cities to rural towns, use the social studies curriculum
to teach about and for social justice; (2) focuses on how teaching
social studies for social justice relates to standardized testing,
state curricula, and the local challenges teachers face; (3) offers
classroom activities and "Reflection Exercises" and "Teaching
Ideas" to provide teachers with practical applications for the
topics discussed; and (4) includes a list of children's literature
books, curriculum materials, and websites.
