"… a much-needed addition to elementary social studies that will move the field ahead."-- Keith C. Barton, University of Cincinnati "This text fills a valuable niche and should quickly become a leading reference for teachers and teacher educators." -- Linda S. Levstik, University of Kentucky "Brophy, Alleman and Knighton have successfully described a very thoughtful, deliberate, and painstaking research process that spanned several years. This is a volume from which any teacher or prospective teacher of social studies could profit immensely." -- Jane C. Chauvin, Teachers College Record (March 12, 2009) "Inside the Social Studies Classroom successfully transitions theory into practice. The deep, rich classroom descriptions and extensive synthesis of purposeful instruction move learning beyond traditional practices, expanding our thinking about authentic and powerful primary social studies teaching."-- Tina L. Heafner, Theory & Research in Social Education (Spring 2009): 273-280
