    Extractions: Print View l From the Teaching column in the March 2000 Perspectives By Annette Atkins Contributing Editor's Note: This is the first of a series of columns about specific teaching experiences and strategies. The contributing editor welcomes submissions of your strategies in your fields. Day 2: From the interviews we come up with a collective list of "our" issues. I make sure that we have a mix of what they would expect to see on such a list (wars, peace, AIDS). I also make sure to keep a couple of what seem like more personal and particular issues (getting good grades, dieting). My premise—and my belief—is that if studying history is worthwhile, it has to say something about both. By the end of Day 4 I want to have on the blackboard a list of their personal issues and a list of recent historical events. Then we set about the task of relating one list to the other. What on the historical events list helps us understand why so many students worry about their weight or have anorexia/bulimia? What on this historical list helps us understand why students care so much about grades? What on the list helps us understand why students don’t take much interest in contemporary politics? We feel our personal issues so personally, but often, I’m arguing, they grow pretty understandably from the times in which we live. We stand in a particular historical time and, as such, we are also "historical."

Course Details Course Description Course Emphasis Course Objectives ... Back to top In the past few years, there has been a renewed focus on the teaching of American history. This is not merely a result of the new federal laws and regulations or of the emphasis on standards. Rather, teachers, community activists, scholars, parents, and politicians have come to see American history as central to our culture and our national identity. Thus, teaching American history has become as much a social issue as a classroom activity. This course is designed to provide teachers with the latest historical perspectives and pedagogical methods to enhance and improve the teaching of American history. The course will also foster new professional networks and new ways of bringing history to life in our community.

    Extractions: authors click here var sc_project=460313; var sc_partition=2; ecosystem details Main James Oakes: July 5, 2005 What do Lynne Cheney and Cecilia Cannon have in common? I assume everybody knows who Lynne Cheney is, but who’s Cecilia Cannon? She’s an assistant superintendent of the Philadelphia school system, and she was recently quoted in praise of the newly imposed requirement that all high school students in the City of Brotherly Love be required to study African and African American history in order to graduate. So what do Cheney and Cannon have in common, other than their shared interest in education? Both believe that the reason for studying history is to make students feel good about themselves. Cheney hit the big time about a decade ago when she launched a pre-emptive strike on the National History Standards that she herself had commissioned as head of the NEH. According to the Los Angeles Times , Mrs. Cheney argued "that the standards were not positive enough about America's achievements and paid too little attention to figures such as Gen. Robert E. Lee, Paul Revere and Thomas Edison. At one point in the initial controversy, Cheney denounced the standards as 'politicized history.' " There were not enough references to the Constitution and too many references to the Ku Klux Klan. Not enough George Washington and too much Harriet Tubman. All in all, Cheney concluded, "We are a better people than the National History Standards indicate, and our children deserve to know it." (This was the height of sophistication beside Rush Limbaugh’s denunciation of the standards: "History is real simple. You know what history is? It's what happened.")
