Welcome!
Welcome to my blog on History: Fact or Interpretation! In this blog I will be looking at the teaching of history in our schools. Do we simply teach historical facts or interpretation of those facts? What does the FL Legislature say on this issue? What is considered 'best practice' by the SSE community? I will explore this questions and more in the upcoming weeks. So sit back and enjoy. :)

I love your lay out, and focus. I frequent "Lies my Teacher Told Me" for thought provoking writing. It's all too easy to take "history" as "THE HISTORY" and need to be reminded of the interpretation, power and perspectives that actually intersect history. It's just one person's (or a group's) story, after all.
ReplyDeleteMy focus for the class is a section of the A+ Law that deals with teaching history as fact only and not interpretation. Yet best practice says to teach interpretation. It's going to be an interesting class for sure.
