Blackbeard the Pirate
. . . and the Presumed Wreck of Queen Anne's Revenge D uring The Golden Age of Piracy (1689-1718), numerous rogues pursued their lawless and murderous trade throughout the New World. Restrictive laws passed by the British Parliament had made smuggling acceptable and even desirable in North Carolina and the other American colonies. Preying upon lightly armed merchant ships, the pirates seized their contents and sometimes killed those who resisted. Because of its shallow sounds and inlets, North Carolina's Outer Banks became a haven for many of these outlaws in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Blackbeard was the most notorious pirate in the history of seafaring. With a beard that almost covered his face, he would strike terror into the hearts of his victims, according to some early accounts, by weaving wicks laced with gunpowder into his hair, and lighting them during battle. A big man, he added to his menacing appearance by wearing a crimson coat, two swords at his waist, and bandoleers stuffed with numerous pistols and knives across his chest.

Every year pupils appear to sail through their GCSEs, fuelling yet another heated debate about falling education standards. The Channel 4 series That'll Teach 'Em tackled this thorny issue by putting 30 16-year-olds through the tough regime of a re-creation of a 1950s state grammar boarding school and the academic rigour of O-levels. The 3Rs website , which accompanied the series, introduces viewers to the students and teachers and the new/old world that they inhabited. It shows some of the ways that education today is very different from education in the 1950s. It also addresses the education debate with articles asking why people have always criticised education and what is worthy of praise in it today. Three months after the experiment ended, Channel 4 revisited the participants for the one-off programme That Taught 'Em That'll Teach 'Em 2 starts on Tuesday 17 August at 9pm, find out more about the new series

The Mississippi Junior Historical Society The Mississippi Junior Historical Society is a statewide organization for students in grades who share an interest in history. Organizing a chapter in your school will enable you to involve your students in history through exciting projects that bring history alive. The local chapters are usually sponsored by a history or social studies teacher, but any teacher or administrator with an interest in history may sponsor a chapter. Each chapter makes its own rules and sets it own agenda for the year. There are no state dues. The MJHS sponsors Mississippi History Day , a state-level competition which is part of the National History Day program. Clubs from all over the state are invited to attend as well as any interested student without a club affiliation. The state History Day competition gives students the chance to explore a historical topic related to an annual theme and to present their research findings in a variety of ways: essays, exhibits, performances, and documentaries

http://www.the-federalist-society.org/Documents/Anti-Federalist/AntiFed-18-20_I.
Antifederalist No. 18-20 What Does History Teach? (Part I) "AN OLD WHIG," taken from The Massachusetts Gazette, November 27, 1787, as reprinted from the [Philadelphia] Independent Gazetteer.
Before we establish a government, whose acts will be the supreme law of the land, and whose power will extend to almost every case without exception, we ought carefully to guard ourselves by a bill of rights, against the invasion of those liberties which it is essential for us to retain, which it is of no real use for government to deprive us of; but which, in the course of human events, have been too often insulted with all the wantonness of an idle barbarity. AN OLD WHIG "A NEWPORT MAN," wrote this which which appeared in The Newport Mercury, March 17, 1788. Again, our country is compared to a ship of which we are all passengers, and, from thence 'tis gravely concluded that no officer can ever betray or abuse his trust. But that men will sacrifice the public to their private interest, is a saying too well known to need repeating. And the instances of designed shipwrecks, and ships run away with by a combination of masters, supercargoes, and part owners, is so great that nothing can equal them but those instances in which pretended patriots and politicians have raised themselves and families to power and greatness, by destroying that freedom and those laws they were chosen to defend.

page summary
The starting point of teaching is the meaningful understandings that students need in order to live effectively in the world. The body of knowledge described here supports such meaningful learning. Considerable agreement exists about the body of knowledge to be taught in world history classrooms. It consists of:
-Chronological narrative
-Conceptual frameworks
-Thinking strategies Nonetheless, confusion reigns in the field of history education. Sam Wineburg writes: "... students experience a haphazard diversity, a hodgepodge of different views..." Teachers we have a responsibility to bring coherence to schooling. History and geography are the core of the social studies curriculum. World history and geography are inseparable. 2004 Michael G. Maxwell What to teach: a body of knowledge:
overview chronological narrative conceptual frameworks thinking strategies What to teach: an overview Meaning as the basis of teaching As educators we tend to focus on what to teach rather than on what students need to learn. This is a crucial distinction. If the purpose of schooling is to prepare young people for life, then clearly our curricula must be driven by the meaningful understandings students need in order to live effectively in the world, not by pre-conceived notions about content or strategies. We believe teachers should fundamentally shift their thinking and work back from the needs of students to the assessments, lessons and materials that will effectively convey meaningful learning to students.

As I write this column, I’m flying from San Francisco to New York City for three days of meetings at the American Museum of Natural History on bringing the latest scientific data to the public via museums and planetariums. I look forward to working with my colleagues. I’m also eager to gaze again at their stunning collection of fossils and to travel to distant locations in our universe at the Rose Center and the Hayden Planetarium, the museum’s digital planetarium. Both the fossil dinosaurs and the immersive planetarium environment present concrete evidence that evolution is pervasive throughout the natural world. The universe evolved from the Big Bang to systems of galaxies, stars, and planets; these, including Earth, continue to evolve. Astronomers are teasing out the role of dark matter and dark energy. Life on Earth goes back at least 3.5 billion years as evidenced by fossilized stromatolites from Australia. Over that vast span of time, there’s evidence that life evolved from small single celled-organisms to the incredible diversity we see today. Scientific research continues to discover additional evidence that supports evolution as the fundamental description for how the physical universe and life developed in the past and will continue to change in the future.

The Boston College department of history was one of four history departments in the country to receive a two-year "preparing future faculty" (or PFF) grant from the American Historical Association to enhance our Ph.D. program. As with the curriculum of so many history departments, we felt that the individual parts of our program were not integrated closely enough to provide students with the systematic, holistic training that they will need to succeed as future faculty members. And like all departments, we knew that we could do more to broaden student research experience and professional development. We also knew that we could improve graduate students training in the teaching of their own lecture courses. Our PFF grant gives us the funding to do all of these things. We believe that these changes will make you more competitive on the job market and make your transition from graduate students to assistant professors an easier one. A. Teaching:

Then they took their lessons on the road, traveling to many historical sites in Tennessee. One group went to Rhea County where they learned about the economic reasons behind why the Scopes Monkey Trial happened in Tennessee. At the Oakridge National Laboratory the discussion focused on the Great Depression and World War Two. The six day program was organized by Volunteer State Associate Professor of History, Carole Bucy. The program was a joint effort by Volunteer State, the Wilson County Board of Education, Tennessee State University and the Tennessee Historical Society.

Three years ago, Thomas Dublin, professor of history, and Kathryn Kish Sklar, distinguished professor of history, began an ambitious project to improve the way American history is taught in area schools. With the help of a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, and working with the Broome-Tioga Board of Cooperative Educational Services, they developed a series of related training and professional development initiatives for teachers in the 15 school districts in Broome and Tioga counties. This year, the co-directors of the Center for Teaching of American History have been awarded a follow-up grant of $983,000 from the U.S. Department of Education to expand their efforts to 44 rural public school districts in the state's Catskills and Finger Lakes regions, serving approximately 43,000 students in the Tompkins-Seneca-Tioga, Delaware-Chenango-Madison-Otsego and Otsego-Northern Catskills BOCES districts.

State Certification Requirements for History Teachers. ERIC Digest . This ERIC Digest is by Sarah Drake Brown.
From the ERIC Digest:
In concert with a rising interest in history education, there is concern about the quality of education and certification of history teachers. Many researchers, theorists, and specialists have weighed in on the issue of teacher preparation and certification. To what extent are history teachers prepared and certified to teach the discipline? This Digest discusses (1) general findings about out-of-field teaching, (2) findings about state teacher certification requirements, (3) findings about content standards for teacher preparation and licensure, and (4) recommendations for improving preparation and certification requirements for history teachers.
OUT-OF-FIELD TEACHING IN HISTORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCES
According to the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics School and Staffing Survey, in 1999-2000 71% of middle school history teachers lacked a college major in history or certification in history; 11.5% lacked a college major, a college minor, or certification in history. At the high school level, 62.5% lacked a college major or certification in history and 8.4% lacked a college major, college minor, or certification. The results for social science teachers were not quite as dismal, but they were notable nonetheless. Most striking is that the percentage of middle and high school teachers who had neither a college history major nor certification increased since 1987-1988. The high school increase was slight-62.1% to 62.5%. But at the middle school level, out-of-field teachers increased from 67.5% to 71% (Gewertz 2002).
