Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
"
How can social studies teachers include critical civic and historical content when topics like slavery and the civil rights era are deemed too ""controversial"" for the classroom?
This book provides a powerful, research-based framework for navigating the political and social pressures of the modern classroom. The authors argue that social studies education must center on negotiating the justice-related tensions inherent in a democracy. By framing these tensions as dilemmas for reflection rather than problems to solve, this book provides a springboard for justice-oriented social studies practices that align with the NCSS C3 Framework.
Offering indispensable guidance for both pre- and inservice teachers, the text features case studies of elementary and secondary educators addressing complex topics such as immigration, racial segregation and racism, queer equality, and the Israel-Palestine conflict. Readers will learn about the intricacies of justice-based social studies and develop the reflective habits needed to enact and sustain such practices throughout their careers.
Book Features:
- Research-Based Framework: Provides a structured approach to critical social studies and the specific tensions that arise in justice-oriented classrooms.
- Practical Case Studies: Includes narratives of teachers managing disturbing parts of history and current events, from settler colonialism to modern policy debates.
- Reflective Guidance: Offers reflection questions designed to help educators envision and build a more just and democratic world with their students.
- Activist Thinking: Advocates for an inquiry-based approach to history, civics, and the social sciences that encourages students to make change in their communities.
- Professional Alignment: Directly supports the development of transformative citizenship and reflective practice as outlined by leading educational organizations.
