Core Knowledge Teacher Handbook Grade 2 (The Teacher Handbook Series)

By E.D. Hirsch Jr.

The Teacher Handbooks provide background about language arts, history and geography, visual arts, music, mathematics, and science. Each handbook has been written to look like the Core Knowledge Sequence. For each section in the Sequence, there is a matching section in the handbooks. The handbooks combine authoritative background information of the sort found in encyclopedias, with teacher tips and review suggestions of the sort found in teacher guides. They pinpoint the main idea for each section, outline the key facts, and provide valuable suggestions as to how to teach and review the topic. They tell you what students need to learn and what they will learn in subsequent grades. They define key vocabulary words, point out cross-curricular connections, offer teaching tips and assessment suggestions, and list books and websites for additional reading.
