About
When teaching history, one of my most gratifying occurrences is when our students have that “ah-ha” moment—a moment when they have discovered their critical voice in understanding historical moments. In my classes, I stress that students embrace personal perspectives that speak to their worldviews. I challenge the consumer education model my students have often inherited in high school and offer a participatory alternative. While this approach demands more of students, they quickly grasp the benefits in the acquisition of new skills, stronger relationships, and greater decision-making power. Getting students to participate by their general comments or asking relevant questions has been an important by-product of this model.
