Day 1, Session 2 - Live Discussion: Assessing Historical Thinking

Relive our live, online OER Conference for Social Studies held August 3-4, 2022.

We're bringing thousands of teachers from across America together to hear from academics, historians, public thinkers and most importantly, other teachers. Head into the new school year inspired and armed with practical ideas for improving your teaching practice.

Learning historical thinking skills in tandem with content is difficult for most students. They must learn to contextualize the multiple perspectives of historical narratives, source their claims, and grapple with causes and consequences – all without falling prey to presentism. Join us as we discuss strategies to teach and assess your students’ historical thinking practices.

Our moderator for this discussion is Ebony McKiver, Social Studies Education Specialist for the Nebraska Department of Education. Joining Ebony for this discussion are Anne Koschmider and Carly Fox.
