Occupy Wall Street as a Curriculum of Space
Tập 38 - Trang 79-89 - 2014
Although Occupy Wall Street may no longer appear in news headlines, the
international movement provides a rich curriculum on space and protest that are
worthy of contemplation in social studies classrooms and research. This paper
looks historically at how location and free speech became linked and informed
one another during the 20th century in the US. It then looks critically at three
sites of Oc...

Examining An Ambitious World History Teacher's Knowledge for Planning

The goal for this study was to better understand how an ambitious teacher uses
pedagogical content knowledge while planning learning environments that focus on
disciplinary, inquiry-based practices in world history. We used Monte-Sano and
Budano's (2012) framework for pedagogical content knowledge for teaching history
to examine the teacher's planning over the course of a year. Through interviews

Critical Democratic Education in Practice: Evidence from An Experienced Teacher's Classroom
Tập 46 - Trang 35-52 - 2022
Ever-increasing numbers of teachers are expressing commitments to social justice
education today, but few experienced critical or democratic education in their
own schooling or in their teaching practicum. Thus, teachers’ critical
democratic commitments can be difficult to put into practice, especially in
classrooms where students with diverse and unequal positionalities are engaged
in learning to...
One novice teacher and her decisions to address or avoid controversial issues
Tập 42 - Trang 39-47 - 2018
Building upon Thornton's (1991) work on teachers as “curricular-instructional
gatekeepers,” the author explores what guided the curricular decision-making for
one novice teacher concerning controversial issues that center on race, social
class, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) issues. Qualitative
case study revealed context, student demographics, and teacher positionality as
infl...

Integrating Social Studies and Social Skills for Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities: A Mixed Methods Study
Tập 41 - Trang 253-262 - 2017
Research indicates that academic growth and student behavior are inextricably
linked. Schools that systematically address both academic and social/emotional
learning (SEL) have shown increased student achievement when compared to schools
that do not address both factors ( Elliott, Huai & Roach, 2007 ; Hawken, Vincent
& Schumann, 2008 ). Even with this understanding, outcomes for students with
emot...
An Elementary Social Studies Teacher's Quest to Develop Democratic Citizens: The Boundaries of Ambitious Teaching
Tập 43 - Trang 187-198 - 2019
Developing informed and participatory citizens is one of the aims of the
National Council for the Social Studies’ (NCSS) vision of civic education.
However, when aspiring to meet the call for meaningful civic education, teachers
may find themselves at odds with other goals of accountability-driven school
environments, creating contexts in which ambitious teaching becomes the answer
to instilling d...
