Reviews
I like the flow of topics. It is logical and encourages the reader to want to continue on to the next chapter., It is unique in its approach and offers an alternative to most texts at this level. It seems to be where a lot of the leading thinkers in the field are in terms of constructivist theory., The major strength of this book is its solid use of teacher and student examples combined with the weaving of theory and research which is compelling and much needed. The writing is engaging and connects well with the reader. I enjoyed reading this so much.

Synopsis
The authors' contemporary framework uses four commonplaces of education--learners and learning, the subject matter of social studies, teachers and teaching, and classroom learning environment--to help future teachers create powerful learning experiences for their students. The text's teaching/learning model focuses on constructivism, or how new teachers construct their own knowledge. It puts readers into classroom situations with numerous demonstrations of elementary social studies teaching, and provides substance and powerful strategies to help teachers implement today's standards.
