Teaching Women’s History: Breaking Barriers and Undoing Male Centrism in K-12 Social Studies challenges and guides K-12 history teachers to incorporate comprehensive and diverse women’s history into every region and era of their history curriculum.Providing a wealth of practical examples, ideas, and lesson plans – all backed by scholarly research – for secondary and middle school classes, this book demonstrates how teachers can weave women’s history into their curriculum today. It breaks down how history is taught currently, how teachers are prepared, and what expectations are set in state standards and textbooks and then shows how teachers can use pedagogical approaches to better incorporate women’s voices into each of these realms. Each chapter explores a major barrier to teaching an inclusive history and how to overcome it, and every chapter ends with an inquiry-based lesson plan on women or using women's sources which stands counter to the way curriculum is traditionally taught, a case in point that tasks readers to realize how women have been integral to every period of history.With expert guidance from an award-winning social studies teacher, this guidebook will be important reading for middle and high school history educators. It will also be beneficial to preservice teachers, particularly within Social Studies Education and Gender Studies.Additional resources for educators are available to view at www.remedialherstory.com.Chapter 3 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

This book guides and empowers secondary social studies teachers to craft inquiry-based learning within their classrooms that fit their students’ needs and interests.Inquiry is necessary in a democracy–especially an increasingly polarized one. Open inquiry promotes critical thinking and teaches the importance of evidence-based arguments to students. The role of the teacher is still fundamentally important and necessary when facilitating an inquiry in the classroom, and well-crafted inquiries provide ample context and are well supported by the instructor. This text provides readers with practical examples from scholarship and experienced educators demonstrating ways teachers can use inquiry to teach social studies better. Teachers will gain a rich understanding of how to teach with primary sources through inquiry-based learning and to build meaningful inquiries for their classrooms. Each chapter ends with an inquiry for preservice teacher preparation.With best strategies for inquiry design, facilitation, and modification for students at various reading and grade levels, this is an essential guide for secondary social studies and history teachers to incorporate open inquiry into their classes.
