Preparing to Teach Social Studies for Social Justice (Becoming a Renegade)
Autor Ruchi Agarwal-Rangnath Cu Alison G. Dover Scenariu de Nick Henningen Limba Engleză Paperback
This practical book shows how veteran, justice-oriented social studies teachers are responding to the Common Core State Standards, focusing on how they build curriculum, support students' literacy skills, and prepare students to think and act critically within and beyond the classroom. In order to provide direct classroom-to-classroom insights, the authors draw on letters written by veteran teachers addressed to new teachers entering the field. Part I of the book introduces the three approaches teachers can take for teaching for social justice within the constraints of the Common Core State Standards (embracing, reframing, or resisting the standards). Part II analyzes specific approaches to teaching the Common Core, using teacher narratives to illustrate key processes. Part III demonstrates how teachers develop, support, and sustain their identities as justice-oriented educators in standards-driven classrooms. Each chapter includes exemplary lesson plans drawn from diverse grades and classrooms, and offers concrete recommendations to guide practice.
Book Features:
- Offers advice from experienced educators who have learned to successfully navigate the constraints of high-stakes testing and standards-based mandates.

- Examines a range of philosophical and political stances that teachers might take as they navigate the unique demands of teaching for social justice in their own context.
