As history educators, let's encourage students to unite, discuss evidence, acknowledge gaps, and collaboratively make informed decisions about today and yesterday. Our students depend on our ability to navigate these challenges together.

The misconception that events from 100 years ago don’t impact our lives today. That’s what we focus on in our 10th grade curriculum looking at modern world history through the lens of the news #sschat

January 6 is my reminder of how important my job is. Teaching younger generations what democracy is, what civic action is and is not, and how to have civil dialogue has never been more important.

Students applied concepts of global trade to a card game my colleague modeled off of “Settlers of Catan.” This is easily one of my favorite lessons as students take the lead! #education #teachertwitter

What does the American Dream look like to young people today? @NPR's @ElenaMMoore takes a look at the Sine Institute's new poll on young Americans' views on life, politics, and the "Reimagined American Dream." npr.org/2023/09/14/119933611…

For young Americans, politics breaks the American dream instead of building it

Gen Z and millennial voters should dominate the electorate in coming years. A poll from the Sine Institute, exclusively obtained by NPR, shows how 18- to 34-year-old Americans feel about the future.
