Reinventing Social Studies
Phi Delta Kappan, Vol. 89, No. 09 (May 2008): 649-653.
Kevin St. Jarre
We are neglecting most of the social sciences in American high schools today, favoring the sequential and systematic delivery of history, partly because it is easier, partly because we are told to do so, and partly because we lie to ourselves. It’s time to shift the focus in secondary social studies education away from history survey courses and to apply much more emphasis to the other social sciences.
