The Text Says
Notes (key concepts, direct quotes, etc.)
p.197
Nearly two-thirds of secondary social
studies teachers (102/155 or 65.8 percent)
(see Table 3) were categorized as
personally responsible. The most common
and clearest responses in this category
focused on traditional values (honesty,
respect, civic awareness and pride,
awareness of laws and rules in the
community, patriotism, tolerance,
responsibility), and traditional behaviors
(voter participation, community
participation, volunteering, following
laws).

I Say
My notes, commentary
This was not a surprise to me that majority of
the teachers responded this way. I personally
think that this is my view of teaching
citizenship. The focus of traditional values
and traditional behaviors are critical parts of
social studies education.

citizens nor do I think it is a bad thing that teachers have different opinions on how they think this
should be accomplished. I do however have issues with teachers thinking that the only reason they
teach history is to meet the requirements for state requirements. We need to find ways as teachers to
bring the importance of learning history to students.
