The Canadian Anthology of Social Studies: Issues and Strategies for Teachers

by Penney Clark (Editor)

This anthology is a comprehensive collection of articles on social studies methodology used as a textbook in faculties of education across Canada. It offers countless suggestions to new and practising teachers, including exemplary activities and assessment devices, and it contains handy point-form presentations of strategies, checklists, and inventories. The Canadian Anthology of Social Studies is much more than a mere compilation of teaching ideas, however; throughout, the authors connect practical recommendations with the underlying theoretical issues that provide context, insight, and direction for social studies teaching and learning. This book was developed and first published through the Field Programs Office at Simon Fraser University and is now a Pacific Educational Press title. The contributors come from a broad range of Canadian universities and other educational settings. CONTRIBUTORS Tony F. Arruda, Chuck Chamberlin, Bob Davis, Heather Devine, Harry Dhand, Kieran Egan, Margaret Ferguson, John W. Friesen, Susan E. Gibson, Larry Glassford, Susan Hargraves, Todd A.
