Lo, Jane C. – Social Education, 2018
Differences of opinion are inherent in controversial issues, because controversy arises when reasonable people disagree about the best way to reach a solution to a problem.

Saldaña, Cristóbal T. – Social Education, 2013
AP World History is the ideal history course.

Kaplan, Howard – Social Education, 2014
The death of Nelson Mandela on December 5, 2013, prompted a global outpouring of tributes and opened up important teachable moments for social studies educators.

Baildon, Mark; Damico, James – Social Education, 2011
The "elaborate systems of communication" that historian Christopher Lasch observed nearly three decades ago have intensified in complexity and scope.

Niederjohn, M. Scott; Schug, Mark C.; Wood, William C. – Social Education, 2013
This article represents the third in a "ghost story" series by the same authors.

Mr.…

In a review of 250 studies, Black and Wiliam found that formative assessments had a more…

Wolla, Scott – Social Education, 2013
The rise of China, as well as any of the emerging economies, has much to offer students and teachers of social studies--especially in the fields of history and economics.
