Description

Teaching is not an easy profession.

This book is designed to cover all the basics for elementary social studies teachers. Additionally, the NCSS, or National Council of Social Studies, standards are explained. This book presents the essentials of pertinent research, valued classroom methodology, and current practice in teaching elementary social studies. It is ideal for readers who teach "block" courses where more than one content area's methods are taught, or for general methods courses covering specific subjects. Topics include making plans to teach, textbooks and their uses, and computers as a tool for social studies learning. Social studies teachers, especially new ones, and university professors of education.
