Abstract | Teaching social studies for understanding is complicated and challenging, but is rewarding when done effectively because students often exceed expectations. They construct understandings of the content, acquire a language to talk about it, and find a host of examples for applying it to their lives. Barbara Knighton, one of the authors of this article, is an early elementary teacher whose social studies lessons focus on developing this level of understanding. Through a dozen years of collaboration that has included analyzing over 100 audiotapes of her social studies instruction, the authors (J. A. and J. B) have learned an enormous amount about her pedagogy and what goes into her decision making. In this article, the authors describe two of Barbara's primary strategies for establishing and protecting coherence in her social studies teaching. The authors first describe how she protects coherence within lessons by sticking with prototypical examples to establish basic ideas firmly before addressing potentially confusing complications. Then, they describe how she increases coherence across lessons by foreshadowing upcoming lessons and tying back to previously taught lessons. (Contains 4 notes.) (ERIC). |
