The book is very easy to use given its well-organized format....Due to the rich nature of this vast collection of essays related to social studies and diversity education, there is something useful here for anyone interested in promoting history, social sciences, multiculturalism, and/or teacher education."--Theory and Research in Social Education"I am struck by how rich the classrooms of these professors are, and how fortunate the preservice teachers to be in them. Social Studies and Diversity Education is not only a valuable resource for professors of social studies and history methods, it contains a wealth of ideas and strategies for the reflective classroom teacher seeking to grow in what they do. I know my middle school students will benefit from the ideas contained within it!"--Michael Yell, Past-President of National Council for the Social Studies; Nationally Board Certified Teacher; Hudson Middle School
