The Social Studies Classroom: Teaching with the 3 E’s: Enthusiasm, Engagement, and Empathy is focused on methods of teaching social studies. It provides elementary teachers with the tools and inspiration to teach inquiry-based lessons that build critical thinking skills while preparing students to become reflective, empathetic, and engaged citizens.
The content in the book ranges from how to build curiosity and excitement by analyzing primary sources, to cross-curriculum integration with literacy, poetry, and the arts. With social studies often marginalized in the classroom it’s important to look at ways to integrate it with other content areas.
Dr. Kohnke has over a decade of experience in higher education and was a former elementary school teacher. She has presented her research on social studies content, methods of teaching, and social justice across the United States and at the University of Oxford in England.
