Religious people, events, ideas, and movements - from the Colonial period to the present - have been at the heart of the American story. Without understanding a good deal about religion, we can't understand the history of the United States. Though sparse before, textbooks and standards arebeginning to include more about religion. It follows that there should be resources to help teachers address religion events and ideas in their classes. A Teacher's Guide to Religion in American Life produced by the First Amendment Center is such a resource built as a supplement to Oxford's awardwinning Religion in American Life series for young adult readers. The Teacher's Guide, endorsed by the American Federation of Teachers, is a broad overview complete with hints on presentations and sample lesson plans.

Download and read online ebook The Oxford Handbook of Religion and American Education write by Michael D. Waggoner. This book was released on 2018-08-01. The Oxford Handbook of Religion and American Education available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. From the founding of Harvard College in 1636 as a mission for training young clergy to the landmark 1968 Supreme Court decision in Epperson v. Arkansas, which struck down the state's ban on teaching evolution in schools, religion and education in the United States have been inextricably linked. Still today new fights emerge over the rights and limitations of religion in the classroom. The Oxford Handbook of Religion and American Education brings together preeminent scholars from the fields of religion, education, law, and political science to craft a comprehensive survey and assessment of the study of religion and education in the United States. The essays in the first part develop six distinct conceptual lenses through which to view American education, including Privatism, Secularism, Pluralism, Religious Literacy, Religious Liberty, and Democracy. The following four parts expand on these concepts in a diverse range of educational frames: public schools, faith-based K-12 education, higher education, and lifespan faith development. Designed for a diverse and interdisciplinary audience, this addition to the Oxford Handbook series sets for itself a broad goal of understanding the place of religion and education in a modern democracy.
