As a social studies teacher for over 30 years, I agree with the approach outlined in Interdisciplinary Teaching and Teacher Education. The social studies department can be a leader in secondary interdisciplinary education.

The editors have harnessed the expertise of established educators to create a compelling argument that effective interdisciplinary education is not only possible, but can be realized with the tools already available. Those wishing to move their district’s curriculum in this direction will find this a useful resource.
