Excited to make this announcement!! I have been selected for the National Geographic Explorer Exchange program! My American History students will have an AMAZING experience next year! 🇺🇸💛

Senior Night for my #KingBoy1 ♥️⚾ 5 weeks until graduation. . .

Do any of my history teacher friends have the ability to gift this article to me, so I can read beyond a paywall?

"The National Museum of African American History and Culture is not a place that traffics in improper ideology," Clint Smith writes. "It is a museum that recognizes that America has been suffused in improper ideologies for most of its history." https://theatln.tc/y3RevJzO

Teaching critical thinking skills is an act of resistance.

You never know what life has in store. . .I am thankful for @lindbladexp.bsky.social , National Geographic, @paleoparadox.bsky.social , Karl Horeis + Kelly Preheim 💛 (and new GTFs I am not allowed to post yet) 😉 #GTF2020Forever #teacherlife

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Love you, Gabe! #GTF2020

LOVE you, sister!! 😘

THIS was the highlight of my week!! #doublesisters #HTOY #GTF #IRL

Super excited to hear at NatGeo HQ for the 2025 GTF Workshop as a 2020 alum! Can’t wait to meet this year’s cohort of incredible educators and share what I learned from my expedition to Antarctica! Thanks so much to NatGeo Education and Lindblad Expeditions for your continued support of educators!

Had a couple hours before the workshop welcome reception. So of course I had to check out the National Museum of Natural History! First time seeing it since the renovation! It’s beautiful! 😭

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

PLEASE REPOST! If you know a secondary school history teacher deserving of the AHA's Nancy Lyman Roelker Mentorship Award, please nominate by May 15! Gather letters & a CV. My late father taught HS social studies, so I feel deeply honored to serve on this committee www.historians.org/award-grant/...

Congratulations to our #KingBoy1 who will be a 3rd gen #Wolfpacker! #howlback 🐺♥️🤍 @ncstate.bsky.social

Been thinking about this cartoon. For no reason. Really. It's from 1889 -- during the Gilded Age.

Breaking news: Jimmy Carter, a no-frills and steel-willed Southern governor who was elected president in 1976, died Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia, according to his son. He was 100 and the oldest living U.S. president of all time.

Yes.

Our year-long investigation found that more than 3,100 children died at boarding schools between 1828 and 1970 and that more than 800 of those students are buried in cemeteries at or near the schools they attended. wapo.st/3DnIr9q Here’s how we found our evidence.

So proud of this new #EPF lesson on Philanthropy. We watched #CrashCourse w @clintsmithiii.bsky.social "Tuskegee Syphilis Study," analyzed @npr.org article about Milbank Endowment that 💲 for this historical trauma, and held synchronous Socratic Seminars to discuss 🔥

King Boy #3 was selected for the Arts Guild Festival! 🎨

Some news! I Maintained my Certification w/ National Board for Professional Teaching Standards! I could not have done this wo the CCHS Class of 2024♥️ who were featured in my videoed lessons. Teaching is the greatest of professions.

When all my history teacher buddies across 🇺🇸 are in the audience learning from @hcrichardson.bsky.social and they send me pics . . . This is me. Trying very very hard not to be jealous

Proud then--and now--to be part of the team of educators who will never back away from telling the truth. #edusky #historyeducation medium.com/@2020PATOY/s...

We knew the assignment 😉

King Boy #2 had a tough loss tonight 🏀 Proud of this kiddo

Panel interview w/ the school board today! (in 🥶 NC)

MLK’s Letter from Birmingham Jail is a trenchant read on this, and every day www.csuchico.edu/iege/_assets...

Our #SGA working on a anti-vaping PSA for our student body. . .more to come!

In the fall of 1800, President John Adams lost his reelection bid. A few months later, he did something remarkable, historic, and under appreciated - he went home. You don’t get to love your country only when you win.

January 6 is my reminder of how important my job is. Teaching younger generations what democracy is, what civic action is and is not, and how to have civil dialogue has never been more important. #edusky #iteachsocialstudies

Wore these today for my #EPF Marketing/ #Nike lesson. Continuing a tradition of giving the students real-world applications at Chatham Central High. #beardown #sschat #historyteacher

One of my favorite things about the other place in the olden times was the sharing: lessons, grants, sites, inspiration, ideas that challenge me to be better. I love learning from you all. Who is an "internet friend" that inspires you? #edusky #iteachsocialstudies #historyeducation #sschat
