This episode features Stephanie Gibson, Michele Cumberland, Rodney Squires, Hillary Weppler, and Jennifer Morris — teachers who are all using interdisciplinary approaches to help their students engage critically and creatively with history.
They talk about combining history with technology, philosophy and the arts, and explore what it looks like when students are encouraged to ask rich questions, connect with their own communities, and share their learning.
