Hello to AHA folks who are interested in teaching and learning. I received this CFP from the people at the UCBerkeley History Social-Science Project, and thought some of you might have great ideas for proposals, or might just want to attend the
conference, which takes place May 1-2, 2015.
If you'd like to use this AHA community as a place to generate ideas or find other presenters, please do so.
Sincerely,
Julia Brookins

TEACHING HISTORY:
Fostering Historical Thinking Across the K-16 Continuum | | | | | May 1-2, 2015 at the University of California, Berkeley Keynote Speakers: Sam Wineburg, Standford University Bruce VanSledright, UNC at Charlotte (Just added!)
This conference seeks to answer: - How do we teach the habits of the historical mind across the K-16 continuum?
- How can educators across all levels support the teaching of historical thinking across the K-16 continuum?
- How can new platforms (social media, digitized archives, etc.) contribute to developing historical literacy?
- How can we assess the acquisition of historical thinking and literacy skills?
- What innovative pedagogical methods are being implemented with great effect in history classrooms?
We are currently accepting proposals for this conference. Questions may be addressed to: info.teachinghistory@gmail.com.
Hosted by: Simo Mikkonen, University of Jyväskylä, UC Berkeley History-Social Science Project, UC Berkeley History Graduate Student Pedagogy Group, & the UC Berkeley Department of History.
