Honest History And Civicmindedness For Younger Learners

A junior high school teacher, her school principal, and a teacher educator weigh in on critical questions about history and civics education in the era of fake news, social media, and heightened political pressure.  -What does high-quality history and civics education for younger students look like and how can it help protect our democracy? - Why should teachers promote civic mindedness and not just facts about how government works? - Should all of American history be taught, including systemic racism and other anti-democratic structures? - Should teachers attempt to make students feel guilt or discomfort about America's past? - Can history about current events and controversial topics be taught in a non-partisan manner? - How can school administrators support teachers who teach the whole American story?  Guests include: - Tracy Barnett, History Teacher, Hopkins Jr. High School, Fremont, California - Corey Brown, Principal, Hopkins Jr. High School, Fremont, California - Dr. Jennifer Hauver, Associate Professor of Education, Randolph-Macon College, Ashland, Virginia
