Connecting the Dots in World History, A Teacher's Literacy Based Curriculum (eBook, ePUB)

From the Fall of the Western Roman Empire to Death of Genghis Khan, Volume 2

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In his previously written articles and books, Chris Edwards has argued that Teaching should be considered a field that is separate from both the field of Education and from the content area fields. Teaching is a field which synthesizes content and method for classroom application. All of the other major intellectual fields have a canon of works which practitioners can learn from and add to, but Teaching does not. The Connecting-the-Dots in World History: A Teacher's Literacy-Based Curriculum series changes this by showing how effective a teacher-generated curriculum can be. These books can inspire other teachers to create their own curriculums and inspire a change in the way that the public views teachers and teaching.
