In this week's episode, I discuss two ways in which I've integrated Indigenous history into my classes.  "Months" are important- they highlight a culture's contributions and history- AND they're not the only time we should be representing different groups of people in the narrative.  I chat about strategies I've used to talk about the Lenape, who are the tribe native to my home and school in New Jersey, as well as the latest way I've used an online exhibit at the Harvard Peabody Museum to learn about the Wampanoag.

I love our history and social studies teacher family, and I can't think of a better way for the Teaching History Her Way Podcast to welcome new and preservice teachers to the family than to give them some advice.  Hey, if they're listening (or you are) it technically isn't unsolicited advice, right?!  From building trust with students to gathering and building a personal learning network, I've identified six things that history and social studies teachers can do right now to make their lives easier as new teachers, preservice teachers, or teachers who aren't so new but might want a little help getting that spark back.  This episode is short and sweet, and an easy listen. :)

Teachers are called to defend democracy.  Join me as I get the honor of chatting with Linda Monk, JD about the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, James Madison, and the implications of how the Constitution is interpreted.  We chat about the health of democracy, the political origins of the United States, and of, course, what it all meant for different kinds of people back then and now.

This is a delightful conversation that is informative, entertaining, and most importantly, insightful.  This episode is a highlight of season 3!

Lucretia Mott. Susan B. Anthony. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. When you hear those names you probably automatically think about women’s suffrage. The women’s suffrage movement in the United States was led by far more than the usual names, though. There were women of every color, ethnicity, race, and sexuality that fought hard for universal women’s suffrage. Recently, I was teaching my 5th-grade class about the 19th Amendment, and one of my students raised her hand and asked me, “Were there any Asian women involved in the suffrage movement?” While I knew the answer was yes, this was a moment where I had to tell her I needed to do more research, and the story of Dr. Mabel Ping-Hua Lee is one that I want to share with you and with my student as one of empowerment and Asian joy.

Throughout history, including during the American Civil War, women had and made choices.  We can't tell stories by downplaying women in our complicated and messy history.   Using women of the Civil War, as a vehicle, Tracy Garrison Feinberg and I discuss empowerment, agency, and purpose.  Women's drive to improve society in many ways gives them power, and there is no boilerplate woman!  There is no single story that tells the entirety of the experiences and impact of women in history, and each one somehow turned the tide of history, even those whose names we don't know.

In a very special episode, master educators Angela Lee and Karalee Wong Nakatsuka enlighten our audience about their experiences as Asian American educators.  Together, they explore themes of empowerment, representation, and stereotypes, and offer suggestions to allies about how to best support our Asian American students, colleagues, and friends.  So much has changed for them as individuals and as a part of the AAPI community since the start of the pandemic, but much has also carried over since before the pandemic began.  This is an episode you don’t want to miss.

In this episode, join Neil Wrona, middle school special educator in Howard County, MD.   He has spent most of his 8 years teaching in alternative Special Ed schools helping students whose emotional disabilities have caused them to fall behind academically.  I have never been a special education teacher and talking to Neil about working with students with learning differences gave me a glimpse into his experience.  Neil shares strategies for helping his students learn that can be used in ALL classrooms, and he gives a special nod to support teachers.

In this episode, I interview New York Historical Society Women and the American Story Ambassador, Lee Sharmat, about women soldiers in the Civil War.  In this intervew, we get to chat not only about women as fierce fighters in America's bloodiest conflict, but also about gender and sexuality and what those meant for these women and in the time period.  Lee highlights the bravery of these soldiers, but also reminds us that there is still SO much to uncover about the people about the past.  Just because we don't know, doesn't mean it's not so!
