Social Studies in Elementary Education by Walter Parker

Social Studies in Elementary Education by Walter Parker

For preservice, inservice, and graduate courses on social studies in elementary education. More practical than ever, this number one text retains the clarity and friendly tone of previous editions while taking a fresh look at diversity, technology, democratic citizenship, and expanding social studies across the curriculum. It details the mission of social studies education, considers the diversity of children in today's social studies classrooms, addresses the social studies curriculum, and explores effective instruction. The author continues the tradition of applying educational concepts with specific classroom examples and field-tested lesson plans in this classic.

I teach in the College of Education at the University of Washington in Seattle where I chair the Social Studies Education Program. I study K--12 social studies education and, in particular, the civic development of youth. I'm especially interested in the ways civic education, multicultural education, and global education overlap. My other books are Renewing the Social Studies Curriculum (1991); Educating the Democratic Mind (1996); Education for Democracy: Contexts, Curricula, and Assessments (2002); Teaching Democracy: Unity and Diversity in Public Life (2003); and Social Studies Today: Research & Practice (2010). I am the editor of the 'Research and Practice' column for Social Education, the flagship journal of the National Council for the Social Studies.I was born and raised in Englewood, Colorado, on Denver's south side, and taught school for ten years in Adams County on Denver's north side. I earned the B.A. in Political Science (University of Colorado, Boulder), the M.A. in Social Foundations of Education (University of Colorado, Denver), and the Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction (University of Washington, Seattle). I live in Seattle with the rain and my wife, Sheila Valencia.
