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.
