How can social studies educators teach the ideals of democracy when its real-world practice is so deeply challenged?
This volume provides a frank, research-based appraisal of how to navigate K–12 curriculum while examining the political and social conditions that cause democratic education to falter.
Leading scholars in the field of social studies and civic education move beyond the "paper democracy" of standard textbooks to address modern issues like disinformation, authority, and digital discourse. Educators will find practical, proactive, and reactive strategies to help students develop the habits and skills necessary to resist authoritarianism and defend democratic norms.
This volume offers a holistic approach to civic education with teacher resources for a fractious age. This is an essential guide for those ready to embrace the brave work of instilling democratic values in the "now."
