Description

For courses in Elementary Social Studies Methods (K-8). A wealth of content, strategies, tools, and resources for teaching K-8 social studies The most popular elementary social studies methods text on the market, Social Studies in Elementary Education presents the elements of a strong social studies curriculum in elementary and middle schools, explains effective teaching methods, and includes a wealth of field-tested examples, exercises, activities, and lesson plans that bring the subject matter to life. It presents critically important ideas and sometimes-complex methods in a clear, straightforward manner, while focusing on teaching methods that help students develop social understanding and the ability to think and act as democratic citizens in a multicultural society. Beginning and new teachers will develop the knowledge and tools they need to unleash their intelligence and creativity on the subject area, and see how they can make social studies a subject that students anticipate and enjoy and that gives purpose and context to reading, writing, science, and math. While continuing to blend theory and practice, the 16th Edition emphasizes the inquiry-based College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework throughout the book, within the reorganized lesson plans, and in a new integrated unit plan. A new chapter on economic and financial literacy content and skills expands the subject-matter emphasis to reflect the four areas of emphasis in the social studies curriculum. Key revisions include new issues and challenges features, a new format for selecting children's literature, a new media literacy segment, and more.
