Teach Like a Champion by Doug Lemov - an inspiring read for teachers that provides many ideas about classroom management and instruction to move you from good to a consistent, master teacher. Making History Mine: Meaningful Connections for Grades 5-9 by Sarah Cooper - the chapters in this book are divided into applicable strategies for the Social Studies teacher, such as "The Role of the Individual: Assessing Who Makes History" and "Current Events: Connecting Past to Present". My favorite part about this book is it is packed with exemplars and resources! |

~ WHY HISTORY MATTERS ~ "We have learned to be citizens of the world, members of the human community." - Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Fourth Inaugural Address, January 20, 1945 "What would constitute useful history? That which should teach us our duties and our rights, without appearing to teach them." - Voltaire, Philosophical Dictionary "A nation that forgets its past can function no better than an individual with amnesia." - David McCullough |
