Elizabeth George recognizes that 'hands on' activities are not necessarily 'minds on.' George's realism about her own recommended teaching methods is refreshing. She supports her ideas for making history instruction intellectually rich and personally engaging in learning science and scholarship on history teaching and learning. Her methods are field tested, too, allowing George to give concrete advice about how activities can go wrong and what to do when that happens. But what I like most about Engaging the Past is George's recognition that for new teaching methods to win acceptance, they must not only improve student learning but see to the flourishing of teachers' lives, too. That means reducing the burden of grading while creating more opportunities for teachers to immerse themselves in life-giving moments doing history with students., Americans don't know much about history, but the larger problem is that they don't know how to think about the past. In this wide-ranging and compelling primer, Elizabeth George shows how beginning teachers (and even full professors!) can enlist innovative pedagogies to address one of the great challenges of our time: how to rethink the past. --Mark C.

Synopsis
This book presents a variety of strategies to help teachers rethink their relationship to the content and their students. Each chapter explains an active learning approach, practical steps for how to put the approach into practice, and ideas for how teachers can customize the strategy., Engaging the Past: Action and Interaction in the History Classroom provides practical steps toward using engaging strategies in the classroom to teach students to think historically. These strategies include an approach developed by the author called "The You Decide! Lecture," and innovative ways to use board games and role-playing games in the history classroom. The goal is not simply to add window dressing to fundamentally dull lessons, but rather to re-examine how teachers think about students as learners of history. This book follows the growing trend within historical pedagogy to care less about content coverage and more about deep engagement, student learning, and the importance of historical thinking. The students in our classrooms today are the history teachers of tomorrow and awakening them to the exciting complexities of the past is critical to keep the study of history thriving.

- r***r (2961)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
