Description

Our book sits at the intersection of education and politics, as it explains how middle and high school teachers prepare the rising generation of Americans to live as self-governing citizens. The best social studies educators do not only teach the rights and responsibilities of citizens. They also teach habits of civil discourse and critical thinking. In addition, they help students examine the principles that uphold our civic life, as well as the tensions that frequently disrupt it. Our book explains how teachers do this critical work.
