      Coaches Shouldn't Teach History
      By Diane Ravitch
      Ms. Ravitch is Research Professor of Education, New York University. HNN FUND RAISING DRIVE
      If you like the service HNN provides, please consider making a donation.
      Testimony Ms. Ravitch gave on April 10, 2003 in support of a bill by Sen. Lamar Alexander to promote the teaching of history. History education is one of the most important responsibilities of our schools. Unfortunately, for many years, the teaching of history had a low priority. In the 1970s and 1980s, history in many schools was replaced by a mishmash of ill-defined social studies courses that taught things like group decision-making, consumer education, and social science concepts. In 1983, for instance, the New York State Education Department intended to replace the chronological study of history with a thematic approach in which events were merged with big concepts and taught without regard to cause and effect. A popular outcry prevented that from taking place. In many states, history was submerged into social studies programs, and states adopted social studies standards that ignored chronological history. Civics too suffered when it was separated from the study of American history. The study of history has been making a comeback in recent years. Ten years ago, only four states-California, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Texas-had history standards to guide teachers. Today, after ten years of popular support for academic standards, about half the states now have history standards.

    History teacher Brent Heath knew when he met his current eighth-grade class exactly what he would be teaching them.
    He also knew that though he would cover topics such as the cornerstones of American democracy and the consequences of the Civil War, he would not squeeze in everything required in the state's standards - including material that would appear on the standards-based tests this spring.
    "If that test is driving the curriculum - that teacher becomes the puppet, not the conductor," said Heath, a teacher at De Anza Middle School in Ontario with 30 years of experience. "You want the teacher to conduct."

World History for Us All will be available to all educators and the public on 15 July 2004 K-12 history and social studies educators are looking for ways to teach world history that are coherent, logical, and engaging for students. World History for Us All offers an innovative model for conceptually integrated study of the human past from remote times to the present. As a field of teaching and learning, world history ideally embraces all humanity. To make the global past intelligible, teachers must define concrete subject matter, questions, time periods, and themes, then investigate them in systematic ways. Too often, teachers find themselves moving from one topic, country, and civilization to another arbitrarily and to the neglect of larger patterns of historical meaning. World History for Us All connects subject matter anchored in specific times and places to a conceptual frame of guiding ideas and organizational tools.

    The First Thirty-Five Years... And Beyond
    1966-1979: The First TA Union in the World The Teaching Assistants' Association was born in the spring of 1966 as an organization dedicated to improving the working conditions of graduate assistants and undergraduate education at the UW-Madison. The TAA, which drew its membership largely from the antiwar and student movements of the day, was from the outset a progressive voice in the university community. In 1969, a legislative proposal to deny out-of-state tuition remission to graduate assistants provided the spark that brought a majority of TAs into the TAA. Discovering the power of collective action, TAs voted to strike if the bill passed. Although the bill was quickly withdrawn, TAs had decided that a formally recognized union with bargaining rights was the best way to protect TAs' working conditions and improve educational quality. TAs proposed a new kind of union based on the place of the university and white-collar labor in society. If workplace issues were to be addressed by bargaining between equal parties, an agreement governing the relationship between the UW and the TAA would have to be worked out, for Wisconsin statutes had no such provision. Under intense pressure from the TAA, the UW agreed to a Structure Agreement setting forth the necessary guidelines. After the TAA won a representation election by an overwhelming margin, the TAA and the UW sat down to bargain what would become the first contract in the United States between a university and its graduate assistants.

    How to Teach Kids About the History of the American Flag
    Since the Pledge of Allegiance is no longer allowed in schools, your kids may not be learning about the history of the flag as they once did. Take an opportunity on the Fourth of July to teach your kids a bit of American history. Steps: Buy a children's picture book about the American Revolution, or a songbook that includes "The Star-Spangled Banner." This book can serve as a learning tool or a jumping-off point for your discussion about the history of the flag. Explain the facts behind the American Revolution. Include details about the establishment of the 13 colonies, the colonies' quest for independence from England, and the ride of Paul Revere; consider holding a mock Boston Tea Party just for fun. Make your own Declaration of Independence on a piece of parchment paper. Explain that the colonies' break with England meant that the new United States was no longer allowed to fly the flag of England, and the Americans had to make a new flag for the new nation. Tell the kids how the Continental Congress established an act providing for a flag of the United States on June 14, 1777. The first flag had 13 white stars on a field of blue (to represent the 13 original colonies) and 13 stripes - seven red and six white.

    Trial and Triumph: The Early Years

    Facing Goliath: Negotiation
    ...
    Conclusion
    Thirty Years of Service If only teachers had nothing more to worry about than finding creative ways to motivate their students. Unfortunately, that is hardly the case. Fortunately, teachers in Hawaii have had one staunch advocate.
    On January 1, 1971, with the formal incorporation of the Hawaii State Teachers Association, a core group of dedicated visionaries came together to form the frontline in the battle to bring education and teacher issues to the forefront of the State's public agenda. Now, more than a quarter of a century later, many of those same leaders are still fighting for teachers' rights. Today, they are focused on a new set of goals and priorities, but their ideals remain the same - to make school a better place for teachers and students alike.
    Education is the fundamental foundation of our society. This simple principle drives the ongoing efforts of the Association as it represents teachers in the workplace and beyond. The Association works, not simply to get "perks" for teachers, but to create an environment where teachers have every opportunity to do their best for the students. HSTA has long recognized that students are the true beneficiaries of education - advances made on behalf of teachers benefit students - and the more students gain from education, the more we all gain in the long run.

    http://nchs.ucla.edu/standards/preface.html
    National Standards for History
    Preface
    The National Standards for History address one of the major goals for national education reform developed within the past decade. First envisioned by President George Bush and the nation’s governors in their historic summit meeting in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1989, this reform agenda took shape in the National Education Goals jointly adopted by the National Governors’ Association and President Bush a year later. These Goals were subsequently incorporated into legislation by the Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton in the GOALS 2000, Educate America Act of March 1994. Broadly supported by the American people, their state governors, their legislators in the United States Congress, and two successive presidential administrations, these National Education Goals have represented a genuine bipartisan approach to education reform. The vision behind this reform agenda was initially expressed by the Bush Administration with the 1990 launching of the National Education Goals: “ A new standard for an educated citizenry is required, one suitable for the next century. Our people must be as knowledgeable, as well-trained, as competent, and as inventive as those in any other nation. . . . America can meet this challenge if our society is dedicated to a renaissance in education.” Central to this reform agenda was Goal 3, affirming that “by the year 2000, American students will leave grades four, eight, and twelve having demonstrated competency in challenging subject matter including English, mathematics, science, history, and geography; and every school in America will ensure that all students learn to use their minds well, so they may be prepared for responsible citizenship, further learning, and productive employment in our modern economy.”
