Offers a fresh overview of teaching with film to effectively enhance social studies instruction.
Celluloid Blackboard
This volume advocates for including feature films in secondary history classrooms through examining the ways in which films can promote students’ historical understanding while also addressing the potential drawbacks to using film. In part one the essays explore three frameworks for the analysis of film by secondary students. Part two fills a void in the scholarship, reporting on four recent studies that explore how the use of film may encourage the development of students’ historical understanding. Finally, part three describes the results from two secondary teachers incorporating film into their history classrooms.
Teaching History with Museums
Teaching History with Museums provides an introduction and overview of the rich pedagogical power of museums. In this comprehensive textbook, the authors show how museums offer a sophisticated understanding of the past and develop habits of mind in ways that are not easily duplicated in the classroom. Using engaging cases to illustrate accomplished history teaching through museum visits, this text provides pre- and in-service teachers, teacher educators, and museum educators with ideas for successful visits to artifact and display-based museums, historic forts, living history museums, memorials, monuments, and other heritage sites. Each case is constructed to be adapted and tailored in ways that will be applicable to any classroom and encourage students to think deeply about museums as historical accounts and interpretations to be examined, questioned, and discussed.

Promoting Global Competence and Social Justice in Teacher Education
Promoting Global Competence and Social Justice in Teacher Education reconceptualizes the purpose of education to include the attainment of global or cosmopolitan perspectives. This goal has important implications for how we not only educate today’s students, but also how we prepare teachers to teach in a diverse and complex world in which habits of perspective, inquiry, imagination, empathy, communication, commitment, humility, integrity, and judgment increasingly resonate in importance. This book advocates for preparing teacher candidates to acquire a nuanced, global perspective of their subject areas and be prepared to handle the demands of educating students for our changing global context. To this end, Promoting Global Competence and Social Justice in Teacher Education encourages the development of pedagogical strategies that will enable students to consider multiple perspectives and cultivate respect for diverse peoples and cultures.
Of Streets and Stars
New edition of Alan Marcus's 1960 second novel, Of Streets and Stars, a poetic description of the lives of those who work and live in the artificial Hollywood film world. "A novel of dazzling originality, written with compassion, sometimes with wild humor, always in the beauty of simplicity." - Dorothy Parker "The literary sensation of the year. . . . His style is spare, lean, staccato. Jagged cutting in and out of scenes, in the manner of a skillful director, gives the book a breathless momentum. It needs to be read carefully, but the effort will be handsomely repaid." - The New York Times "I have as high an opinion of this talent as anything I have encountered in a long while." - Saul Bellow "The writing is at once easy and precise - that magical conjunction almost no one hits . . . brilliant insights, brilliantly caught. I read it with more than pleasure." - Archibald MacLeish "A truly original and sensitive novel . . . the work of a very powerful talent." - Harvey Swados
