Teaching History for the Common Good

Teaching History for the Common Good

Keith C. Barton and Linda S. Levstik
Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2004

This book explores the body of research on students' historical thinking and examines controversies about what should be taught to history students and how it should be presented. The authors examine ways in which history education can prepare students to participate in a pluralistic democracy and help citizens collaborate for the common good.
