Description

Thinking Like a Historian will help you bring history to your classroom and reenergize your teaching of this crucial discipline in new ways. A group of experienced Wisconsin historians and educators, representing elementary through university levels, developed and piloted this framework. The Thinking Like a Historian charts which are the centerpiece of Thinking Like a Historian were created by condensing into simplified and easily remembered language the combined expertise of the historical profession as expressed in the published standards of the American Historical Association, the Organization of American Historians, the National Council for History Education, the National History Standards and state standards for Wisconsin and California. Thinking Like a Historian is the fruit of our thinking and practice grounded in the highest standards of the discipline--designed to stimulate your own thinking, planning, and teaching. Adapt or draw inspriration from the examples for engaging and effective lessons and classroom activities. Return again and again to the common language of Thinking Like a Historian as a foundation that can connect and develop students' curiosity about and understand of history throughout their school years. As history educators we wholeheartedly embrace the responsibility and opportunity to guide the next generation to think more deeply about the past--to think like historians.
