Social Studies Today will help educators-teachers, curriculum
specialists, and researchers-think deeply about contemporary social
studies education. More than simply learning about key topics, this
collection invites readers to think through some of the most
relevant, dynamic, and challenging questions animating social
studies education today. With 12 new chapters highlighting recent
developments in the field, the second edition features the work of
major scholars such as James Banks, Diana Hess, Joel Westheimer,
Meira Levinson, Sam Wineburg, Beth Rubin, Keith Barton, Margaret
Crocco, and more. Each chapter tackles a specific question on
issues such as the difficulties of teaching historical thinking in
the classroom, responding to high-stakes testing, teaching
patriotism, judging the credibility of Internet sources, and
teaching with film and geospatial technologies. Accessible,
compelling, and practical, these chapters-full of rich examples and
illustrations-showcase some of the most original thinking in the
field, and offer pre- and in-service teachers alike a panoramic
window on social studies curricula and instruction and new ways to
improve them. Walter C. Parker is Professor and Chair of Social
Studies Education and (by courtesy) Professor of Political Science
at the University of Washington, Seattle.
