We Shall Remain | American Experience | PBS - 12 views

  •  
    I was looking for sources earlier this year for Native American history while I was teaching a unit on Australian indigenous history (I wanted to show the similarities and develop a fresh perspective in my students) and with both topics I struggled to find quality teaching materials, printed or digital. At least this can provide some background information and neat visuals for the students if you're doing a unit on indigenous peoples in the New World.

    A brilliant example of how to use Diigo with a class. We wouldn't be able to do this given the restrictions we have on assessment, yet the way annotations are used as student discussion is inspiring. Some great analysis on Bronze Age sources (which my students struggle to find).

Understand what was the bombing of Riocentro - 0 views

  •  
    (I translated this post for my friends undestand more about History of Brazil.) Many people do not know this story but it is good that the issue to come out to debunk the myth that democratic opening in Brazil was "slow, gradual and safe" and that President Figueiredo is a great democrat. The opening was rather slow and gradual, but it was not safe. In addition to this attack, were charged as the other letter bomb at the headquarters of OAB and explosions of stands selling newspapers in the labor movement.

BBC News - History, with rose-tinted hindsight - 5 views

  • As one official explained, "we understand that school is a unique social institution that forms all citizens"; which means it is essential they should be taught history, especially the right kind of history. "We need a united society," the apparatchik goes on, and to achieve that end, "we need a united textbook".
  • in 1934, it was Stalin himself who convened an earlier meeting of historians to discuss the very same issue, namely the teaching of history in Russian schools. He disapproved of the conventional class-based accounts then available, which were strongly influenced by Marxist doctrines, and which traced the development of Russia from feudalism to capitalism and beyond. Not even Stalin's hometown wanted to be associated with him anymore... "These textbooks," Stalin thundered, "aren't good for anything. It's all epochs and no facts, no events, no people, no concrete information." History, he concluded somewhat enigmatically, "must be history" - by which, in this case, he meant a cavalcade of national heroes, whose doings might appeal more broadly to the Russian people than the arid abstractions of class analysis and social structure.
  • Who, for example, should decide what history is taught in schools: should it be the government, or academic experts, or examination boards, or the schools themselves, or even the parents?

  • for the last 18 months, I've been leading a project, based at the Institute of Historical Research, which is looking into the history of the teaching of history in schools in England since it first became a serious activity early in the 20th Century. And one of our most important discoveries so far has been the extent to which similar questions have been asked across the decades and generations, and often in complete ignorance of how they've been answered before.

White House briefing room descends into chaos over 'fake news' - The Washington Post - 0 views

  • However high the bar, Trump falls immeasurably short of the standard set by Sanders herself, which is that when people make honest mistakes, they should “own up” to them. Trump simply doesn’t do that. Media organizations look like a model of biblical rectitude vis-a-vis that guy.

Exploring Ancient World Cultures - 5 views

  •  
    I usually don't add secondary sources (I've found books are much more comprehensive - secondary websites seem usually quite simplistic in their treatments) but thought this might be useful for people working with younger classes doing preliminary research or activities on ancient civilisations.

Power Standards: Focusing on the Essential - 0 views

  • Very often, teachers operate under the assumption that all standards are equally important and that they have to ensure that students are taught all of the standards with the same level of intensity each year.
  • The danger of delivering standards that are an inch deep and a mile wide is that students will inevitably leave a grade level or course with gaps in their learning.
  • prioritize certain standards and performance indicators, rather than giving each of them an equal amount of  attention in the curriculum and on assessments.
  • ...32 more annotations...
  • teachers collaboratively prioritize their standards
  • requires teachers to look at the standards vertically. This vertical alignment allows teachers to identify important prerequisite skills students need
  • higher quality assessments
  • aligned, purposeful, and essential in identifying those students in need of intervention, remediation, or enrichment.
  • If a collaborative approach to prioritizing standards is not used, then teachers are forced to choose what they feel is essential. Often those decisions are based on a teacher’s comfort level, availability of resources, or personal preferences. This approach does not give all students access to a guaranteed and viable curriculum.
  • narrowing the focus
  • It is far easier for teachers to go in depth when they have fewer priority standards
  • deepening students’ understanding of essential content, strategies, and skills
  • debate and discuss the significance of the standards they teach
  • easier for teachers to choose high quality resources
  • teachers have clarity around what is essential to teach
  • We call these prioritized standards “power standards.”
  • distinguishes the standards that are essential for student success
  • “those standards that, once mastered, give a student the ability to use reasoning and thinking skills to learn and understand other curriculum objectives.”
  • support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
    • Todd Murdock
       
      Part of the problem is that the students don't see many REAL world (ie popular in media) examples of this. They have unsubstantiated claims from both side, demonization of the other side instead of discussion and debate over content and ideas.
  • learning that is essential for success
  • goes beyond one course or grade level
  • important in life
  • students will need to read informational texts proficiently and substantiate their claims using evidence from the text when reading, writing, and speaking
  • multidisciplinary connections
  • relevant in other disciplines
  • learning that is applied both within the content area and in other content areas
  • standard represents learning that is essential for success
  • Does this standard contain prerequisite content
  • think of a triple Venn Diagram, and that for the overall success of students each circle in that Venn Diagram has equal importance
  • skills necessary for the next
  • power standards are those that teachers will spend most of their instructional time teaching
  • standards emphasized on state and national assessments
  • focus of teacher assessments
  • If every teacher in the grade level or course is emphasizing something different, you do not have a guaranteed curriculum for students.
  • Not all standards are equally important at every grade level or in every course
  • work collaboratively in vertical teams
