Visible Learning for Social Studies, Grades K-12

Visible Learning for Social Studies, Grades K-12 : Designing Student Learning for Conceptual Understanding

Help students move from surface-level learning to the transfer of understanding.

How do social studies teachers maximize instruction to ensure students are prepared for an informed civic life? This book shows how the field is more than simply memorizing dates and facts-it encapsulates the skillful ability to conduct investigations, analyze sources, place events in historical context, and synthesize divergent points of view. Best practices for applying visible learning are presented through:

* A scaffolded approach including surface-level learning, deep learning, and transfer of learning

* Examples of strategies, lessons, and activities best suited for each level of learning

* Planning tools, rubrics, and templates to guide instruction
