While the concept of integration or an interdisciplinary curriculum
has been around for decades, the purposeful practice of integration
is a relatively new educational endeavor. Though classroom teachers
often say they "integrate," there generally seems to be a lack of
understanding of what this thing called integration is (theory) and
what it is supposed to look like in the classroom (practice).
Arguably, no other discipline has felt the pressure to integrate
more than social studies. Marginalized by federal initiatives such
as No Child Left Behind and suffering from a general crisis of
credibility, social studies has been pushed further and further to
the proverbial back burner of educational importance. Yet
regardless of perspective or position, social studies remains ripe
for integration. The crux of this book is to provide educators
insights and strategies into how to integrate social studies with
other discipline areas. Calling upon national experts in their
respective fields, each chapter chronicles the broad relationship
between individual content areas and social studies. Multiple
examples of integrative opportunities are included. At the end of
each chapter is a series of grade-specific integrative lesson plans
ready for implementation. This book was purposefully designed as a
how-to, hands-on, ready-reference guide for educators at all stages
and all levels of teaching.
