Publisher's Synopsis
Hot Button: Teaching Sensitive Social Studies Content explores the difficulty, delicacy, and ethical obligations of teaching accurate history to all students. It names and explores the issues with being the 'tip of the spear' in the classroom after a long line of generally bureaucratic and political decisions are made and how to apply appropriate logic and decision making into what constitutes your scope and sequence and lesson plans as a social studies teacher. It features contributions from Alysha Butler, Kelly Reichardt, Gerardo Muñoz, Chris Dier, and accomplished author Bart King.
