Teaching and Learning Social Studies

Teaching and Learning Social Studies (The TALSS Method)

By: Dr. James C. Rodkey

Teaching and Learning Social Studies is a complete guide for a different way to teach American History in high school. The method detailed in this book does away with traditional teaching methods. These methods backed with scholarly research are student-centered and student-driven. Teaching and Learning Social Studies does away with the short term learning needed for tests and quizzes and focuses on teaching more important cognitive skills. The teacher is not just a lecturer to pass along information but rather a facilitator that directs learning through group work and activities. Teaching and Learning Social Studies is a complete guide including lesson plans, group activities, and rubrics for any high school Social Studies or American History teacher looking to enrich their students’ knowledge with lasting effects.
