Winner of the 2018 Exemplary Research in Social Studies Award presented by the National Council for the Social Studies Many social studies teachers report feeling apprehensive about discussing potentially volatile topics in the classroom, because they fear that administrators and parents might accuse them of attempting to indoctrinate their students. Wayne Journell tackles the controversial nature of teaching politics, addressing commonly raised concerns such as how to frame divisive political issues, whether teachers should disclose their personal political beliefs to students, and how to handle political topics that become intertwined with socially sensitive topics such as race, gender, and religion. Journell discusses how classrooms can become spaces for tolerant political discourse in an increasingly politically polarized American society. In order to explore this, Journell analyzes data that include studies of high school civics/government teachers during the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections and how they integrated television programs, technology, and social media into their teaching. The book also includes a three-year study of preservice middle and secondary social studies teachers' political knowledge and a content analysis of CNN Student News.
Excerpt from Problems of Secondary Education In the mean time we as a people have experienced vast and far-reaching social and industrial changes, which have profoundly modified almost all phases of life among us, and the end is not yet in sight. From a small and an isolated nation, with simple social and industrial and political problems, we have evolved into a world-power with world-problems to be faced. From a rural and an agricultural nation we have in large part changed into an urban and a manufacturing nation. New social and industrial classes, with new social and industrial needs, have developed among us. Many new trades and callings and professions have been evolved, each in turn demanding special and ofttimes extended training.

Using a political economy framework to analyze the current problems facing US postsecondary education, the New Limits of Education Policy tackles the questions surrounding the future of higher education. the study provides an explanation of why improvement of teaching and learning is not a high priority for the stakeholders involved. Roger Benjamin explains why heightened recognition by the State of the importance of human capital in the knowledge economy will create the external conditions that will, in turn, create the need for an altered incentive system for these stakeholders. He goes on to make a case for additional positive incentives that would reward behavior that improves teaching and learning.
