ABSTRACT
Citizens today are actors on a global stage, and it is essential they are knowledgeable about the world, its people, and issues. The social studies is predicated on the preparation of knowledgeable and responsible citizens for active participation in their local, national, and global communities. This book showcases ways in which inquiry based global learning can seamlessly be interwoven into the disciplines of history, economics, geography, and civics. Drawing from scholarship in social studies and global education, the book includes research-based instructional materials, resources, and strategies, all aligned to a rigorous C3 Framework, for use by teachers, teacher educators, pre-service teachers, curricular specialists, and professional development supervisors looking for global learning instructional tools. An increasingly global and multicultural society requires social studies teachers to present a more balanced image of the world. This includes the social studies classroom serving a corrective function whereby misinformation and prejudicial thinking is challenged and corrected.
