History Education, Civics, and Student Advocacy - Seeking Common Ground
Episode Notes
Guests representing diverse political perspectives find some common ground on these controversial questions:
What does high-quality history and civics education look like in a democratic society?
What should teachers, particularly those who teach history and civics, be teaching our children?
Do new state laws, like HB3979 in Texas and SB623 in Tennessee, that restrict what teachers can talk about with their students strengthen or weaken our democracy?
Should students learn about civics by solving real problems and working with government representatives?
Guests include:
Ace Parsi, Senior Director of Outreach and Partnerships for Educating for American Democracy
Amber Northern, Senior Vice President for Research at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute
Danny Diaz, Director of UCLA's History-Geography Project and a former high school history teacher
