Annals of Social Studies Education Research for Teachers

About the Journal

We know that social studies teachers are dedicated to their craft and always looking for ways to improve their practices. Teachers tell us that they would like to make use of research that illustrates powerful social studies teaching and learning, but that they don’t have access to the research, don’t have time to read it, or find it too difficult to digest.

Here at ASSERT, we want to break down these barriers for you. On our site, you will find easily digestible, relevant, well-written articles that explore the best published social studies research the profession has to offer. 

Each article is single-blind peer-reviewed by two professionals: a scholar with expertise in the field and a practicing social studies teacher. The reviewers help to ensure that the articles you read are high quality, accurately represent the research, and provide teachers with practical advice they can use to take their teaching to the next level. 

Best of all, we provide you with access to ASSERT articles free of charge. We are a collective of social studies teachers and teacher educators dedicated to the profession. You and your students should have access to new ideas and best practices. The Annals of Social Studies Education Research for Teachers welcomes you to join us in this exciting venture.
