- W288943312 abstract "Kansas City is famous for barbecue. Where I grew up, in New York City, barbecue is not a food. We barbecue hot dogs or hamburgers. We do this on the barbecue, which is a grill, in the backyard. However, because I am a vegetarian, on my barbecue grill you're most likely to find a Portobello mushroom. Today's theme will not be barbecue. It will be ... food. I love to eat. Each day, I spend a considerable amount of time deciding where I will eat each of my meals, and what I will eat. I eagerly look forward to each meal. While I may be a bit extreme, this is not simply a personality quirk. It's part of my cultural heritage, part of being Jewish. Jews love to eat, love to talk about food, and can always tell you where to find the best restaurants. Perhaps after hearing this, you will understand why I will be using the metaphor of a meal to structure this address. There is an old saying that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I don't know if that is true. But we're not here to talk about romance. The topic is studies, and food. The way to the curriculum's heart is through studies. It can be through the stomach, as well as the brain, and the spirit. Social studies people tend to look at things holistically, so you know that all of these are connected, or integrated. I therefore invite you to join me for a full course meal, a course in studies. We begin with salad. Several years ago, the concept of America as a tossed was proposed to replace the melting pot metaphor. Salad is good for the heart. Remember the conference theme--we will keep coming back to the heart. We can start with the heart of lettuce perhaps. Some of you may be surprised to hear me mention because I am one of the few vegetarians on this planet who dislikes salad. Salads don't usually interest me, especially when it consists of iceberg lettuce and bland tomatoes. But the studies salad is a treasure to behold. Social studies does not have bland ingredients; we have robust disciplines. Each is a joy to study. Yet, like a salad, the discipline by itself loses something unless it's mixed. History is not studied without reference to geography, economics, and all the other disciplines. Political science becomes concrete when viewed through the lenses of the other sciences, and so on. In the mid-1980s, at the beginning of the standards movement, NCSS was weakened when each discipline focused on its own interests instead of the big picture. I think each of these groups now recognize how studies is disappearing from the curriculum, or increasingly appearing in a form that is unpalatable. They all know--we all know--it is time to bring those groups back to the table to unite. What divided us before is not as important as the enemy we now face--which is increasing marginalization for all the studies disciplines. We must form a common bond as we enter the public arena in anticipation of the reauthorization of the federal No Child Left Behind Act. NCSS must adapt. If we want the science disciplines to be comfortable under our umbrella, we must make them feel welcomed. We must allow our members to identify with more than the designation of social studies teacher. They may not see themselves that way. Many of our members also regard themselves as teachers of world history, psychology, geography, etc. NCSS must respect and nurture that kind of professional affiliation if we wish to attract and retain those teachers in our organization. To put it another way, instead of serving a soup in which all of the ingredients are pureed, we shall concoct a vegetable soup of the disciplines. How should the soup be served? I like a ladle that goes deep into the pot to bring out all the juicy vegetables and beans. In studies, if we only skim the surface, we end up missing the science connections that promote students' interest, comprehension, and retention. …" @default.
