Make History with Your Students
From bestselling author Paul Bambrick-Santoyo and Art Worrell, Uncommon Schools’ Director of History Instruction, comes Make History, an inspiring book on how educators can take history instruction to the next level. History teachers face unique challenges in introducing history lessons to students, and they are under increasing pressure to get it “right” in an age of social progress and social divisiveness. This book is a guide to bring the past to life while teaching students how to make sense of history.
Use the ideas and techniques to turn your history students into writers, readers, and thinkers who are ready not only to succeed in college, but also to become leaders and change agents. By showing how to teach rigorous, engaging lessons that center student thinking and voice, Make History turns history class into the most exciting part of a student’s day.
Teachers and instructional coaches in grades 5-12 will love this new, insightful approach to history—one that works for today’s classrooms.
ART WORRELL is the Director of 5-12 History Instruction at Uncommon Schools and has 20 years of experience as a teacher, instructional leader, and curriculum writer.
PAUL BAMBRICK-SANTOYO is a bestselling author and founder and Dean of the Leverage Leadership Institute, as well as Chief Schools Officer of Uncommon Schools.
