Christopher Martell on Social Studies and Education: February 2015

http://christophermartell.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Sunday, February 8, 2015. The Case for Elementary Social Studies Specialists. Elementary schools have traditionally been organized into self-contained classrooms. Where one teacher has the responsibility for all subject-matter areas. Although some have made the argument for departmentalization, I continue to support the self-contained elementary classroom. Although the research is relatively thin, some studies do show positive effects. Of self-contained classroom, including benefits for child development.

Christopher Martell on Social Studies and Education: Teaching Trayvon Martin

http://christophermartell.blogspot.com/2013/07/teaching-trayvon-martin.html

Tuesday, July 16, 2013. The verdict immediately made me think about history. It evoked my memories of 1992 and the Rodney King beating trial. And subsequent LA Riots. It reminded me of the group chants I saw on television proclaiming, "Is this America, or South Africa? It made me think of all those times I have taught about the Emmett Till. Of the Trayvon Martin murder case, where he reflects not only the "Stand Your Ground" law, but also the criminalization of the victim, Trayvon Martin, in the media.
