Thinking Nation is excited to partner with our friends at the Institute for Curriculum Services to co-host a free educator webinar for World Refugee Day. The topic? Jewish Immigration at the turn of the 20th century. The experts over at ICS are going to equip teachers with critical content around Jewish Immigration and why understanding this era of history matters today.
I have the privilege of representing Thinking Nation and walk teachers through the historical thinking skill of causation. This is one of my favorite skills to teach and I am looking forward to applying causal thinking to ICS’s deep content knowledge on this topic.
So, if you are looking to deepen your learning on both this topic and historical thinking skill, join us! You can register for the free webinar here!
I hope to see you there!
New Podcast Episode: Thinking Historically About
Thinking Historically About the Women in the American Revolution with Dr. Carol Berkin
Ok, this one was fun. Dr. Berkin spends the first 10 minutes completely captivating me with her story about how her and her colleagues literally put Women’s History on the map! Go listen!
In this episode, we are thinking historically with Dr. Carol Berkin, Presidential Professor of History Emerita at Baruch College & the Graduate Center, CUNY. Dr. Berkin helps us think historically about how women impacted the American Revolution, as well as how the American Revolution impacted women in America. Dr. Berkin also addresses women’s history more broadly, discussing part of the process, as she experienced it, in elevated women’s history in an academic setting.
