Download or read book Teaching America written by David Feith and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Teaching America, more than 20 leading thinkers sound the alarm over a crisis in citizenship--and lay out a powerful agenda for reform. The book's unprecedented roster of authors includes Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Senator Jon Kyl, Senator Bob Graham, Secretary Rod Paige, Alan Dershowitz, Juan Williams, Glenn Reynolds, Michael Kazin, Frederick Hess, Andrew Rotherham, Mike Feinberg, Seth Andrew, Mark Bauerlein and more. Their message: To remain America, our country has to give its kids a civic identity, an understanding of our constitutional system, and some appreciation of the amazing achievements of American self-government. But we are failing. Young Americans know little about the Bill of Rights, the democratic process, or the civil rights movement. Three of every four high school seniors aren't proficient in civics, nine of ten can't cut it in U.S. history, and the problem is only aggravated by universities' disregard for civic education. Such civic illiteracy weakens our common culture, disenfranchises would-be voters, and helps poison our politics.

Download or read book The Rise and Fall of Civic Education written by Michael Learn and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-09-16 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social studies is a field in crisis. The crisis stems from failure to establish the very foundation of social studies’ purpose in public education: civic education. Social studies advocates have never put forth a coherent method for teaching civic education because policymakers and the public have been unable to agree upon a general definition of civic education. This issue has disrupted the field since the early days. As educators sought to include civic education within public schools as a dedicated field, social studies evolved into a blending of history, social sciences, and civic education. Social studies’ evolution never resolved the differences between the three, with each discipline striving to control the narrative. Instead of creating a unified field, the disciplines devalued social studies and thus any discipline associated with it. The Rise and Fall of Civic Education: The Battle for Social Studies in a Shifting Historical Landscape investigates the changing definitions and purposes ascribed to social studies in the United States through time. This result is viewed through the rising tensions from culture wars as America’s divisive politics fight to control the narrative of the disciplines within social studies.

Download or read book Bring History and Civics to Life written by Karalee Wong Nakatsuka and published by International Society for Technology in Education. This book was released on 2023-02-22 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This user-friendly guide will empower and equip teachers to take a fun, interactive approach to using technology to teach history and civics. For years, history and civics have been put on the back burner as schools focus on subjects like math, science and English language arts. Although all U.S. states have standards for the teaching of history, there’s a lack of consistency when it comes to teaching civics. Today, we see evidence of declining levels of civic engagement, which is sadly reinforced as our educational institutions fail to prioritize history and civics education, while at the same time they often blame students for their lack of knowledge. Amid this backdrop, how can educators better prepare their students to become engaged, informed and empathetic citizens? One way is by harnessing the power of digital learning to make history come alive for students, establishing a climate and culture that encourages students to be effective collaborators and lifelong learners who care about and contribute to society. With this book, two dynamic, award-winning educators draw clear connections between history, civics, community – and technology – in meaningful and actionable ways to deepen students’ understanding of democratic processes and civic engagement. Using edtech and instructional design as entry points, the book highlights pedagogically sound practices to build critical thinking skills, and offers classroom examples from a wide range of educators to show how to implement these strategies in the classroom. The book: • Illustrates how to use educational technology as a means to inspire and enable students to become empathetic, informed citizens. • Emphasizes historiography and critical-thinking skills across the curriculum and broader community. • Demonstrates how to integrate digital learning tools and strategies across history curriculum. • Provides guidance on amplifying student voice and inspiring student civic engagement with students as knowledge constructors and global citizens. • Prioritizes equity in learning by highlighting accessibility features of educational technology tools and implementation strategies to benefit all learners. In these pages, you’ll discover how to use educational technology to help students recognize themselves in history and experience the world – and learn – in ways that only technology allows. Audience: Grades 4-12 history/social science and civics teachers
