Many thanks and congratulations to my friend and co author Susan Santoli, secondary Social Studies professor. I thoroughly enjoyed our collaboration as we developed our invited chapter in Integrative Strategies for the K-12 Social Studies Classroom. Our ideas for Picture This: The Integration of Art and Social Studies were also greatly refined and improved by the skillful editing of Timothy Lintner.

Integrative Strategies for the K-12 Social Studies Classroom


"The crux of this book is to provide educators insights and strategies into how to integrate social studies with other discipline areas. Calling upon national experts in their respective fields, each chapter chronicles the broad relationship between individual content areas and social studies. Multiple examples of integrative opportunities are included. At the end of each chapter is a series of grade-specific integrative lesson plans ready for implementation. This book was purposefully designed as a how-to, hands-on, ready-reference guide for educators at all stages and all levels of teaching."
