| Issues-based instruction is the cornerstone of this package. It provides an ideal way to diversify curriculum, try group teaching strategies, and bring the real world into the classroom in a strong academic context. Research shows that real-life hands-on learning effectively reaches and teaches students. | ||
| Two websites are included as key references on the philosophy and practice of issues-based instruction. The first site is included on the website. Due to its length and detail, the New Horizons site is not on the website; you are encouraged to explore it on your own. | ||
| The first site entitled "Teaching Science-Related Social Issues" (National Council for Social Studies Position Statement) provides background and guidelines for both social studies and science teachers in the selection of topics, evaluation of existing material, gathering, processing and evaluating information, problem-solving, and assessment. http://www.ncss.org/standards/positions/sciencerelated.html | ||
| The second site "Enriching Your School's Curriculum With an Environmental Education Project" (New Horizons) is a user-friendly, how-to guide for teachers. This site offers organizers and step-by-step instructions that are particularly valuable for teachers incorporating this teaching technique for the first time. http://www.newhorizons.org/gng_intr.html | ||
