Description
In his previously written articles and books, Chris Edwards has argued that teaching should be considered a field that is separate from both the field of education and from the content area fields. Teaching is a field which synthesizes content and method for classroom application. All of the other major intellectual fields have a canon of works which practitioners can learn from and add to, but teaching does not. The Connecting the Dots in World History: A Teacher’s Literacy-Based Curriculum series changes this by showing how effective a teacher-generated curriculum can be. These books can inspire other teachers to create their own curricula and inspire a change in the way that the public views teachers and teaching.

Kudos to Dr. Edwards for blending historical content, critical thinking, and methodology. The individual “dots,” accessible and engaging on their own, are connected in such a way that students are presented with a much broader view of world (western) history. This is a gift to teachers who struggle with translating history into meaningful and manageable units without losing the larger picture.
