Connecting the Dots in World History, A Teacher’s Literacy-Based Curriculum. New York: Rowman and Littlefield Education, 2015. Set of five. Each: Hardcover $52.00, Paperback $20.00; E-book, $12.00. About 150 pages. In his previous articles and books, Chris Edwards has argued that teaching should be considered a field that is separate from both the field of education and content area fields, for teaching is a field that synthesizes content and method for classroom application. All of the other major intellectual fields have a canon of works that practitioners can learn from and add to, but teaching does not, argues Edwards. This series of five books changes this state of affairs by showing how effective a teacher-generated curriculum can be. This set aims “to inspire other teachers to create their own curricula and help change the way the public views teachers and teaching.” TOP
