Why do we teach history?
According to national data
only 11% of high school seniors
are proficient in history
• To understand the present in light of the past?
• To be able to read through documents and construct a probable account of the past?
• To appreciate historical narratives?
• To be able to give reflective and discriminating answers to thoughtful historical questions?
• To be able to answer factual questions about historical personalities and events?

What does the teaching of history
add to our knowledge of social
literacy?

Coveragevs
Uncoverage• The assertion has been that students
will have more historical knowledge if we teach content rather than “skills.”
• The role of history is to promote literacy,
• but of discernment,
• History, comes from the Greek “Istoria” means to gain knowledge through inquiry.

Coverage and Content are not the same thing
Coverage• In terms of course design, coverage refers to the amount of
information covered by a
class
Content• Refers to the
various subjects, topics
or themes within a course
of study.
Content is important
![Page 21: Office name goes here](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139c0550346895da1664b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
There was a time when teaching from a textbook
made sense.
When the only way to access historical information
that was available was from a textbook
Roughly from the early 1800s to the late 1980s
WHAT HAS CHANGED???
![Page 22: Office name goes here](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139c0550346895da1664b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The problem today isn’t in the ability to
acquire information…
The problem today is in sorting through the vast amounts of
Information and making informed decisions about what is and isn’t true and
relevant
![Page 23: Office name goes here](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139c0550346895da1664b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
There must be a better way
![Page 24: Office name goes here](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568139c0550346895da1664b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
