Those are things that I would like to be as a teacher in the future that has a chance to inspire and transfer my learning to the next generation of learners.Social Studies ignites a curiosity about real-world issues. It helps students to understand developments that are taking place in society and the world as well as their roles in shaping the future of the nation. Students will explore contemporary and global issues related to governance, their roles as citizens, living in a diverse society and globalization. These are issues that affect the lives of our children as young citizens, and this prepares them for the responsibilities they need to exercise judiciously as adults in future. Social Studies encourages students to engage in policy issues instead of just relying on the government to achieve desired outcomes. Allow children to share their perspectives. Encourage them to develop their own opinion, and explain their reasons, after understanding and analyzing these perspectives. This process empowers to discern and provide well-reasoned conclusions on issues that arise, that's why I like to teach as a future educator and impart some knowledge that can boost their mind and body in understanding the people, society and the

Heather Spandau is a seventh grade social studies teacher at Gray Station Middle School in Jones County.

Ms. Spandau expressed that the most important aspect of teaching Social Studies to middle grade students is to help them understand that they, too, can become well-rounded, successful citizens in today’s society, and can also influence others around them. Spandau feels that is extremely important to emphasize the importance of social studies to students because it is constantly present in the world around us, and also is what drives not only our society, but also the multitude of societies we as Americans associate with on a daily basis.

Count’s educational theory focuses heavily on creating a new social order, while Conservative theorists like Lippman, Posner, and Leming find that only the “social elite” can understand the complexities of society and that having students analyze and reflect on such is “beyond their cognitive abilities,” (19-22). Count’s social reconstructionist views focuses heavily creating social studies curriculum to change social order, while the conservative theorists focus heavily on teaching students civic, democratic duties rather than Dewey’s approach of allowing students to come to their own conclusions. While Dewey’s approach can be seen as being more left-leaning because it calls for student to reflect and analyze, his approach avoids the indoctrination of societal reconstruction (18-21). I believe that students have the ability to think critically about social issues, and that it is the teacher’s duty to help facilitate productive discussions and analysis so that students can perform at the cognitive ability to do

BEHS 210 Week 1 DB A very pressing social matter truly near and dear to my heart is the teacher shortage of 2023. Every time I think about this topic, my mind always questions, “at what point exactly did American run out of professional classroom teachers?” To help find an answer to my question, I used the learning resource’s definition of social science and what it does to help better our society. To breakdown the meaning behind the terminology, “social science is, in its broadest sense, the study of society and the manner in which people behave and influence the world around us (“What is Social Science?, n.d.”).”

It was the best of times and it was the worst of times. The 1920’s was a great time in America. Business was booming, cars were everywhere, there were daring new fashions, and happy jazz music to listen and dance to. Despite all the good things happening, there were some very dark times. During the early 1920’s

The school describes social change to be “something that we just talk about rather, it is who we are” (Walden University, 2015, Social Change section, para. 2). Ultimately, the school’s goal is to encourage students to be active agents of social change and to inculcate in them the desire to bring forth positive impact within their community through the actions that they choose to engage. In our world where the level of violence, inequality, and poverty is disturbingly high and climbing steadily, I believe that people who were educated about the value of making a positive impact to the lives of other people will be of great help in battling these prominent global issues. The collaborative efforts of educators who share a common goal of improving the lives of the people of the future by providing their students equal opportunities to learn, as well as relevant, engaging, and highly cognitive learning experiences that will ready them for their careers will certainly make a difference. Since day one and until now, I have constantly been reminded of my role of an educator of the 21st century.

Social studies tell us how we got here and everything that changed through the years. Social studies are basically what we see in the real world and what goes around our community and nation. It is important for students to be ready exposed to what is going on because they will be experiencing history in the future. There must be a way to incorporate social studies in any other subject such as reading, English, math and science. Social studies can be integrated in several subjects and does not interfere in the exams that students must take.

Many argue that social studies has taught the basics because it is the status quo. Grades k-3 miss out on important stories and explanations because the heavy focus is on founding fathers, democracy and geography. Through Ravitch's research, she realized that, "The social studies curriculum for the K-3 grades is organized around the study of relationships within the home, school, neighborhood, and local community" (Ravitch, pg. 1). Young students' social studies instruction mostly focuses on these concepts about important leaders and founding fathers. The consequences of this content is that students do not learn about legends, folklore and fairy tales.

I agree that, we should conserve our water to the highest point in which we could. I believe that because the drought in California is a huge problem and people are not taking it as serious as is actually is. We should conserve more of our water because it is the most important resource we need to survive. I don't mean we cannot take showers but we should try to cut down the time we are in a shower to about 5 minutes. I also believe that bottled water is not necessary either.

Social Reconstructionists, according to Schiro (2008) “assume that education, has the power to educate people, to analyze and understand social problems, envision a world in which those problems do not exist, and act so as to bring that vision into existence” (Schiro, 2008, pg 134). In other words, the aim of the Social Reconstruction Ideology is to have the Social Reconstructionist educator research real world issues, present them to the students, and have the students work together to create a solution to these problems. Besides the aim of Social Reconstruction, there are other elements of the ideology that requires further examination. While constructing curriculum, it is important to address the nature of knowledge, learning, teaching, the child, and
