Reading sparks students' natural curiosities, helps them answer questions, and even prompts new
ones. Using historical fiction and the Inquiry Design Model (IDM), Kristy A. Brugar and Annie McMahon
Whitlock encourage readers to follow these curiosities and engage with these texts to elevate attention
to social studies concepts and skills. Inquiry by the Book: Teaching Historical Fiction With the Inquiry Design
Model equips educators with innovative methods for integrating English language arts and social
studies through the use of historical fiction texts commonly found in elementary and middle school
classrooms.
This book offers strategies to enhance social studies instruction and to help students develop historical
empathy, recognize diverse experiences and viewpoints, and critically engage historical content.
Each chapter features one or more historical fiction texts alongside primary and secondary sources
to help students answer the IDM's compelling question. Inquiry by the Book supports educators in
selecting high-quality texts, designing compelling questions around important concepts or themes,
building historical context through supporting questions, curating primary and secondary sources, and
designing thoughtful and intentional action elements.
As our world becomes increasingly connected, global issues become entangled with students' daily
lives. To prepare students as globally aware future leaders, social studies curricula must reflect the reality
of these current global challenges. Drawing from theories and frameworks in global social studies
education, Jing A. Williams, Bárbara C. Cruz, and Anatoli Rapoport provide practical, cross-curricular
methods for secondary social studies teachers to incorporate global education into their daily teaching.
Organized by common social studies content areas, each chapter identifies topics that support
globalmindedness. This book also includes powerful vignettes based on real classroom interactions and
innovative, classroom-tested teaching approaches and strategies that engage students in activities that
hold personal meaning for them. Benefitting educators at all levels, Teaching With a Global Perspective:
Approaches and Strategies for Secondary Social Studies Teachers encourages educators to cultivate global
awareness, challenge their students' thinking, and support their development as informed citizens in an
interconnected world.
The publication of the College, Career and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards on Constitution Day in 2013 marked the beginning of a revolution: an inquiry revolution of ideas. From the New York Toolkit project in 2015 to the widespread adoption of the Inquiry Design Model (IDM), educators around the world have been activated and inspired by the Inquiry Arc in the C3 Framework. This book is not only a celebration of the improbable victories and a recognition of how far we have come as a social studies community, but it is also a testament to the gathering of the inquiry forces unlike any curriculum effort in the past. The twenty-seven published articles in this book, drawn primarily from the Teaching the C3 Framework columns in Social Education, demonstrate how the ideas of the C3 Framework have made their way into many facets of social studies: standards, curriculum, instruction, assessment, and teacher education. Looking back on a decade of inquiry, Kathy Swan, S. G. Grant, and John Lee invite you to join the celebration of the C3 Framework's impact on social studies education and to continue blazing the inquiry trail and fueling the revolution. Viva la inquiry revolución!
