For Social Studies courses, TDS has created an outstanding
array of teaching materials to accompany Joy Hakim's award - winning, ten - volume series A History of US.
A meta - analysis
of American interventions with very young fathers points to quality intensive community - based interventions with a good understanding
of gender: the staff (who were experienced, empathetic, enthusiastic, and well connected into their communities) partnered with community organisations and used incentives to draw the young men in; they utilized needs assessments and participant feedback; developed one - on - one relationships with their young clients and provided mentoring; offered a comprehensive
array of services delivered in engaging and interactive ways which incorporated
teaching methods and
materials appropriate to young men's culture, sex and age.
It also requires the time to examine the vast
array of materials and translate them into usable classroom
materials that incorporate the standards we are expected to
teach and that are compatible with the pedagogy that we know and use.
