Thanks to our friends at EuroClio for welcoming us to the European history educator party! I learned so much (pretty sure I met educators from at least a dozen countries!) and cannot wait to continue building these transatlantic bridges. #HistoryMatters #belonging2024

NCHE is inviting educators to provide their insights through a brief survey to help tailor and enhance support programs, resources, and advocacy efforts.

I am so proud of this work. Over the last year, our team (staff and board) has collaborated on a renewed mission, vision, and values to guide us for the next three years. As always, educators are at the center of everything we do and strive to be. #HistoryMatters

Who else will be at the NCPH conference in Salt Lake City next month? I'll be facilitating a public plenary on April 12, 'Building Bridges with Public History,' with Wing Luke Museum Utah Division of Multicultural Affairs Joseph McGill ncph.org/conference National Council for History Education

I am so proud of this National Council for History Education team. Teachers felt loved and supported as professionals at our conference, which is exactly what we hoped for. I also got to fangirl Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR) in person and rock out Rock Hall. Just balm for my soul. #historymatters #teachersareprofessionals

A6) As communities we must stand with our teachers by offering our supporting and loving them unconditionally! They are doing an AMAZING JOB!

Listen to our executive director Jessica Ellison’s love letter to teachers 👇🏼

A4: I'm not in a classroom but I am on a school board. I wish more people knew what a school board can and can't do! #sschat

A2: We have to find ways to make the legislation and bills more accessible to teachers. There's no time to dive deep into legislation when you're busy teaching. How can we share, in a reasonable way, legislation and the ways it will impact teachers? #sschat

A1: In Minnesota, we have a trifecta of Democrats, as of 2022. We now have ethnic studies requirements for all grades. #sschat

The well-prepared educator wears her colonial dress and has a selection of fascinators on hand for a celebratory Zoom conversation with a respected historian. National Council for History Education Dr. Joanne Freeman (@jbf1755 on lots o’ platforms) #historymatters

My favorite part of #ncss2023 was getting to be with so many of my people (and honky-tonking with Matthew Ellison). Grateful to the National Council for History Education staff & NCHE friends like Lois MacMillan for giving me so much joy in Nashville.

I saw a lot of things in NYC today but I can’t stop thinking about these glorious Tiffany lamps. I would like one for every surface in my house, please. Thanks New-York Historical Society for the fantastic first visit!

Thank you to my lovely brilliant National Council for History Education colleagues for hosting tonight: Regina Holland , Shauna Liverotti , and Dalton Savage. Y'all are the best! (Can I use y'all even though I'm a northerner?) #sschat

A5: I love seeing fields of solar panels and windmills when I drive through rural areas! #sschat

A4: I'm really interested in the stories of women in rural areas. The work of women, paid and unpaid, is a cornerstone of rural life. #sschat

A3: I never thought that rural areas were culturally diverse until I started spending time in rural schools. It really opened my eyes. #sschat

A2: In the Midwest, rural history takes up a lot of space on our timelines. When I think of 19th century immigration, I usually think about folks on farms. And grasshopper plagues. #sschat

A1: Also, so much of the rural landscape that I see in my head is covered in snow, which is not everyone's experience! #sschat
