Teachers use the inquiry process to foster child development of social skills and citizenship ideals in their first classroom experiences.

Along the way, young children acquire knowledge and academic skills in civics, economics, geography and history.

Featured here are individually appropriate and culturally relevant developmental practices.

Book excerpt: Plan and deliver a curriculum to help your students connect with the humanity of others! In the wake of 2020, we need today’s young learners to be prepared to develop solutions to a host of entrenched and complex issues, including systemic racism, massive environmental problems, deep political divisions, and future pandemics that will severely test the effectiveness and equity of our health policies. What better place to start that preparation than with a social studies curriculum that enables elementary students to envision and build a better world? In this engaging guide two experienced social studies educators unpack the oppressions that so often characterize the elementary curriculum—normalization, idealization, heroification, and dramatization—and show how common pitfalls can be replaced with creative solutions. Whether you’re a classroom teacher, methods student, or curriculum coordinator, this is a book that can transform your understanding of the social studies disciplines and their power to disrupt the narratives that maintain current inequities.
Download or read book Teaching Young Children Social Studies written by Gayle Mindes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-09-30 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By linking theory to practice with an emphasis on national and state standards, Head Start Performance Standards, No Child Left Behind, and IDEA, the authors coherently combine principles of child development and social studies content to create a solid program for preschool through grade three. The authors maintain the overriding idea throughout the Teaching Young Children series—that strategies derived from knowledge of child development are used to teach content knowledge. It is this concern that makes this volume an excellent resource for teachers and parents. In addition to specific discussions of how to build and conduct a social studies curriculum, the work includes vignettes of teachers and children in the classroom; graphics illustrating concepts and methods; and matrices, charts and tables to enhance understanding. The authors effectively intertwine social learning in young children and development of self-concept with the theme-based curriculum of the National Council for Social Studies, the principles of multicultural education, parent collaboration to support learning, and creating connections between classroom and community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Studies and Young Children presents developmentally appropriate strategies for teaching social studies to young children, with a focus on NCSS and NAEYC standards and using trade books, activities, and other resources designed to reach young children. Written in an easy-to-understand style, the book weaves current research-based principles of developmentally appropriate practice throughout. Through the book's experiential, hands-on learning approach, teachers see how to reach young learners, pique their interest, and use their natural curiosity to develop more critical thinking. The developmental learning focus promotes the idea that by understanding how young children learn, teachers will be more successful in presenting material in a way that children are able to comprehend, further allowing them to build knowledge as they are developmentally able to make sense of the material. Cross-curricular teaching and learning is promoted through the inclusion of a list of trade books in each chapter. A variety of strategies, activities, resources, and key chapter sections illustrate the concepts and help students make the connections to daily classroom practice. The First Edition of Social Studies and Young Children includes: Students make the connections between the theory and learning of social studies. Chapter 1 presents helpful background information about learning theory, including an illustrative table that summarizes theorists and their ideas about young learners. Learning and understanding of the text concepts, diversity, and inclusion are enhanced through a variety of key chapter sections. Students become familiar with what children should be learning as they plan for learning goals. Included are 10 NCSS themes and relevant NAEYC standards listed in every chapter. An understanding of what is developmentally appropriate for teaching social studies content and concepts is accomplished through references to child development and DAP throughout the book. Concepts and ideas are illustrated and clarified. Numerous practical and useful examples, activities, and resource ideas relevant for different age groups appear at the end of each chapter. Teachers see how to provide relevant, appropriate assessment for young children in a full chapter devoted to the topic.
