Priorities for the Future: Toward a Common Agenda.
Newmann, Fred M.
Social Education, v50 n4 p240-50 Apr-May 1986
Identifies diversity of teachers' instructional priorities, student disengagement (boredom), and mediocre teaching as three problem-areas of social studies instruction. Overcoming these problems requires that teachers place depth above coverage, that the school culture be changed to enhance student engagement, and that efforts be made to promote staff collegiality.
