Unpack Your Impact is an excellent teacher's resource that is brim full if considered and practical ideas for how to demystify culture and global social systems in primary school social studies classrooms. This is a very US-centric book, which is appropriate for the project of the authors, but be aware of that if you are a primary teacher outside of the States. The principles should be applicable in most Western classrooms (at least).

I teach kids bigger than the young ones O'Brien and Tabb are discussing, so many of their suggestions aren't relevant to my content area. Generally speaking though, Unpack Your Impact offers some excellent advice - for example, for controversial state standards, "teach whatever the standard is - then flip it". And the evergreen, "don't teach lessons you're ashamed of". Words to live your professional life by!

I hope, and am sure, that Unpack Your Impact will change teaching practice in classrooms across the US, for the better.
