What is Social Studies?

This course draws upon
a statement from the
National Council of Social Studies (NCSS):

“Teaching social studies begins with a deep knowledge and understanding of the subject and its uniques goals.

Social studies programs prepare students to identify, understand, and work to solve the

 challenges facing our diverse nation in an increasingly interdependent world. Education for citizenship should help

 students acquire and learn to use the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that will prepare

them to be competent and responsible citizens throughout their lives. Competent and responsible citizens are informed and

 thoughtful, participate in their communities, are involved politically, and exhibit morla and civic virtures."

Einstein 55 Questioning Strategies

 

"If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution," Einstein said,

"I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask,

for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes."

An instructor who has mastered when and how to ask questions
can create learning situations that build confidence
for all of those groups while covering subject matter more efficently.

KWL Charts

Use a K-W-L teaching technique to engage students from the beginning of a reading lesson by activating prior knowledge. The K-W-L technique also helps you keep students interested as students think about what they want to know and what they have learned. K = What do I know about subject x? W = What do I want to know about subject x? L = What did I learn about subject x?

5 Themes

Advocating the five themes of citizenship -
- honesty, compassion, respect, responsibility, and courage -- is not enough. Exploring those themes, talking about them, and making connections between those themes and your
students' lives are the keys to developing a true understanding of the concepts.

SOCIAL STUDIES - Mon. April 4 - 12:30 - 1:45  CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT/CIVICS PLANNING WORKSHEET

Geography Lesson Plan due April 8.

 

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

Mentor Not Punish

 

1. Rules: Establish and teach classroom rules to communicate
expectations for behavior.
If possible, have the class help create the rules.
2. Routines: Build structure and establish routines to help guide students in a wide variety of situations. 3. Praise: Reinforce positive behavior, using praise and other means.

"They don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."
4. Misbehavior: Consistently impose consequences for misbehavior.

BE CONSISTENT!
5. Engagement: Foster and maintain student engagement by teaching interesting lessons
that include opportunities for active student participation.

 

 

Rules and Procedure

Teachers need to distinguish between rules and procedures. There should be

less than 5 rules in a classroom which govern behavior (e.g. respect others).
There can be many procedures (e.g. passing papers, using computers, turning in homework) which should be taught as the need arises.
All rules and procedures should be reviewed throughout the year. We all forget sometimes. The review is as much for the teacher as it is for the students.

*Tips For Classroom Management -

 

*Build Community

*Design a Safe, Friendly, and Well-Managed Classroom Environment

*Include Students in Creating Rules, Norms, Routines, and Consequences

*Always Be Calm, Fair, and Consistent

*Know the Students You Teach

*Address Conflict Quickly and Wisely

*Integrate Positive Classroom Rituals

*Partner with Parents and Guardians

POVERTY IN AMERICA

 

Frontline - Poor Kids
53 minutes
Frontline spent months following three young children who are growing up against the backdrop of their families' struggles against financial ruin. At a time when one in five American kids live below the poverty line. "Poor kids" is an intimate portrait of the economic crisis as it's rarely seen, through the eyes of children.

of the 3 children living in poverty in the video.

Student Poverty Isn't an Excuse, It's a Barrier

Poverty in Sioux Falls

Homeless Advisory Board

 

Across the United States...

  • The average age of a homeless person in the United States is 7 (yes, 7).
  • The typical homeless family is a single, 20-year-old mother
    with two preschool children.
  • One in 45 children in the United States - 1.6 million children - were living on the street, in homeless shelters or motels, or doubled up with other families last year, according to the National Center on Family Homelessness.
    • This is up 33% since 2007
  • Close to 700,000 people are homeless
    on any given night in America.
  • Children under the age of 8 are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population now comprising over 50%.
  • Statistically, 10% of any city's homeless population
    can be considered chronically homeless.

Marazono's Webinar - The Highly Engaged Classroom | Presented by Margaret McInteer
Novice and veteran teachers alike are always challenged with the goal of keeping students engaged. This webinar, based on the book of the same title, will review the research on classroom engagement and then provide perspectives and strategies to help teacher meet these challenges. The book, thus the Webinar, organizes the complex topic of engagement into four critical areas:
  • Student emotions (How do I feel/)
  • Student interest (Am I interested?)
  • Student perceptions of importance (Is this important?)
  • Student perceptions of efficacy (Can I do this?)
Specific recommendations and resources will be offered in each of the four areas. These will include strategies that could be applied immediately as well as strategies that, when used over time, contribute to the development of “highly engaged classrooms.”
