This handbook explores the issues-centered curriculum for social studies teaching and how student performance reflects an intellectual capacity to address public issues. The book is divided into 11 parts with essays to address specific aspects of the approach. The foreword, written by Shirley Engle, establishes a context for issues-based curriculum.

Ochoa-Becker); ""The Engle-Ochoa Decision Making Model for Citizenship Education"" (Rodney F.
