COVID-19 offers a unique opportunity to transform the K–12 social
studies curriculum, but history suggests that changes to the formal
curriculum will not come easily or automatically. This book was
conceived in the space between the dismantling of our old way of
life and the anticipation of what comes next. The authors in this
volume—leading voices in social studies education—make the case
that COVID-19 has exposed deficiencies in much of the traditional
narrative found in textbooks and state curriculum standards, and
they offer guidance for how educators can use the pandemic to
pursue a more justice-oriented, critical examination of
contemporary society. Divided into two sections, this volume first
focuses on how elementary and secondary educators might teach about
the pandemic, both as a contentious public issue and as a recent
historical event. The second section asks teachers to reconsider
many long-standing aspects of social studies teaching and learning,
from content and instructional approaches to testing.Book Features:
Guidance on how to teach about the COVID-19 crisis as a recent,
controversial historical event. Examples of teaching approaches and
classroom projects that align with the C3 Framework. Lessons about
COVID-19 for use in K–12 classrooms, as well as chapters on the
history of pandemics and on how teachers can help students cope
with death and grief. A critical examination of the idea of
American exceptionalism, the role of race and class in U.S.
society, and fundamental practices within social studies education.
