In his previously written articles and books, Chris Edwards has argued that Teaching should be considered a field that is separate from both the field of Education and from the content area fields. Teaching is a field which synthesizes content and method for classroom application. All of the other major intellectual fields have a canon of works which practitioners can learn from and add to, but Teaching does not. The Connecting-the-Dots in World History: A Teachers Literacy-Based Curriculum series changes this by showing how effective a teacher-generated curriculum can be. These books can inspire other teachers to create their own curriculums and inspire a change in the way that the public views teachers and teaching.
Chris Edwards teaches World History and Advanced Placement World History at a high school in the Midwest and is the author of both Teaching Genius: Redefining Education with Lessons from Science and Philosophy (R&L Education, 2012), and Novum Organum II: Going beyond the Scientific Research Model (R &L Education, 2014). He writes on topics as varied as philosophy, theoretical physics, law, logic and psychology for the science and philosophy journals Skeptic and Free Inquiry and his scholarship and teaching methodology have been published in journals produced by both the National Council for History Education and the National Council for Social Studies.
