Overview
The methods of teaching history in grades 6-12 have changed over the last few years to be more interactive and collaborative. More and more, teaching and learning revolves around an essential triad of inquiry, primary sources, and literacy in a collaborative classroom environment. Teaching History Today is about placing inquiry, primary sources, and literacy foundations of history instruction front and center in the education of preservice history teacher candidates and in-service classroom history teachers. By focusing on these major components of teaching and learning, readers can learn how to organize the massive amount of historical content into effective units. They can see how to integrate the learning of content with the development of skills. And they can gain expertise into how and why to engage students collaboratively in the learning process.

Dr. Newman's analysis on inquiry learning and its relevance in modern social studies classrooms is a must-read for teachers. Teaching History Today: Applying the Triad of Inquiry, Primary Sources, and Literacy provides social studies teachers with the necessary tools to not only improve engagement and learning in class, but to also use inquiry to navigate and explore our current perceptions of the past, present, and future. --Juan Martinez, eighth grade history teacher, Evanston Illinois School District 65 Dr. Newman's book is full of insight that weaves in time-tested and research-based teaching methods with the more recent demands of teaching a more inclusive history. He confronts the heated debates that many teachers face concerning CRT and challenges faced by technology. Teaching History Today: Applying the Triad of Inquiry, Primary Sources, andLiteracy will be a staple to any preservice or new teacher, and it will be a great reference for the more experienced teacher. --Jennifer Baniewicz, history teacher, Stagg High School, Palos Hills Illinois
