Best Practices for Teaching Social Studies
What Award-Winning Classroom Teachers Do
- Randi Stone - Educational Consultant, Keene, NH
"You can easily adapt these practical lessons for your own classroom. Each chapter shows how social studies can be tied to a multiplicity of disciplines, including history, geography, math, science, and technology."
"Randi Stone has assembled an exciting collection of teaching methods to benefit all learners. The book brings together an esteemed group of teachers who are to be congratulated for sparking interest in a subject that is too often taught solely from a textbook."
While this text is an excellent resource it is not comprehensive enough to be the foundation text in my course. However, it is an excellent resource for the social studies teacher or a elementary school teacher who is looking for creative activities or projects that will engage students while still being relevant to the curriculum. This text is a set of chapters which act as vignettes related by a diverse set of teachers who have had great success with the described projects in their specific chapters. As I said the text is too short to be a good foundation text but is an excellent resource for any teacher and a great edition to any teacher building a professional library
Great resource for SPED teachers
