A favoured choice for instructors and their students for over 25 years.
Now in its fourth edition, Learning to Inquire in History, Geography, and Social Studies: An Anthology for Secondary Teachers brings together the work of prominent education scholars and the experiences of highly regarded teachers—the best of the theory and of the practice—in a comprehensive collection. The 31 chapters and extensive online supplement present a diversity of perspectives that provide context, insight, and direction for teaching history, geography, and social studies at the secondary level.
This new edition introduces a new title to reflect an emerging emphasis beyond social studies to include history and geography, as well as an online supplement. The most important changes are in its contents. Only 16 of the current chapters remain in the collection from the initial 41 chapters, and those that remain have undergone significant revisions.
