Session Detail


Thinking Like a Historian
(open to area districts)




This one hour virtual session is designed to give teachers the digital resources to create inquiry-based lessons where students are "doing" history rather than "studying" history. We will discuss how to apply scientific research practices to human actions and behavior from the past as well as share resources and lesson ideas for doing this in the digital classroom.  Each session will feature a different set of strategies and resources. Come for the whole series or as many as you can.

(THIS SESSION CAN BE TAILORED TO DISTRICTS THAT USE TEKS RESOURCE STYSTEM)

How do you get students to "do" history rather than just "studying" history? In this workshop we will discuss ways to take your history classes from rote memorization of facts to true critical thinking of history by applying research based practices. We will learn how to create and develop students that are critical thinkers. This session will also serve as a precursor to the longer "Creating History Labs" session that delves into the creation of History Labs based on the work of the Stanford History Education Group, Sam Wineburg and Bruce Lesh.
