45. Coaches Shouldn't Teach History Too many states have very low requirements for those who plan to teachhistory. In part, this is because of a longstanding tradition http://hnn.us/articles/1417.html

donations archives newsletter contact ... FAQ''s June 12, 2004 Text Size: A A A Departments Breaking News Features HNN Blogs Hot Topics ... Log In 4-28-03: Historians/History Coaches Shouldn't Teach History By Diane Ravitch Ms. Ravitch is Research Professor of Education, New York University. HNN FUND RAISING DRIVE If you like the service HNN provides, please consider making a donation. Testimony Ms. Ravitch gave on April 10, 2003 in support of a bill by Sen. Lamar Alexander to promote the teaching of history. History education is one of the most important responsibilities of our schools. Unfortunately, for many years, the teaching of history had a low priority. In the 1970s and 1980s, history in many schools was replaced by a mishmash of ill-defined social studies courses that taught things like group decision-making, consumer education, and social science concepts. In 1983, for instance, the New York State Education Department intended to replace the chronological study of history with a thematic approach in which events were merged with big concepts and taught without regard to cause and effect. A popular outcry prevented that from taking place. In many states, history was submerged into social studies programs, and states adopted social studies standards that ignored chronological history. Civics too suffered when it was separated from the study of American history. The study of history has been making a comeback in recent years. Ten years ago, only four states-California, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Texas-had history standards to guide teachers. Today, after ten years of popular support for academic standards, about half the states now have history standards.

ARCHIVE Nathan Spero was the Research Director for the United Electrical Workers Union (UE) for thirty-nine years, from 1944 until 1983. Prior to his career with the UE, Spero worked as a statistician for the National Research Project on Productivity and Technological Change for the U.S. Department of Labor (from 1937 until 1943). During his career in the UE, in addition to his regular duties Spero served as the co-chair of the 13-union joint committee on pensions and insurance in negotiations with General Electric and Westinghouse from 1975 through 1981. He was also intimately involved with UE convention work and was responsible for pre-convention assembly and editing of all convention resolutions. Also during his years in the UE, Spero was a member of the Department of Labor's Commission on Incentives. From 1991 to 1992 Spero served as the President for the New School for Social Research's Institute for Retired Professionals.

The J ournal for M ulti M edia H istory Volume 1 Number 1 ~ Fall 1998 Teaching Islamic Civilization with Information Technology Corinne Blake N ew types of information technology such as the Internet and CD-ROM can be used to enhance courses in colleges and universities. A large amount of primary material about Islam and Islamic civilizations, for example, is available to students through the Internet, including full texts of the Qur'an in various translations, several collections of Hadith (records of the Prophet Muhammad’s words and deeds), Shi`i and Sufi religious texts, and classics works of Islamic literature. Since this material is mostly translated, it is of limited interest to advanced graduate students, but it is appropriate for undergraduate courses on Islamic religion, history, and civilization as well as for survey courses in world history. Using material from the Internet provides students with access to primary sources and research material that is often unavailable at smaller institutions. It can also expose students to different points of view within the Muslim community. The challenge for already overextended professors is figuring out how to locate these materials and incorporate them into courses. After reviewing primary source material for teaching Islamic civilization that is available online, I'll discuss methods and issues related to incorporating Internet material into courses.

Welcome to the Rose Garden; thanks for getting up so early. I do want to appreciate David McCullough. It's an honor to be introduced by David McCullough. I appreciate his contribution to our nation. He's made history come alive for millions of Americans. He's encouraged the teaching of history in our classrooms. He's made a lasting contribution to our nation. And we're grateful for that contribution. (Applause.) It is fitting that on the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution, the three branches of our government are represented here. Here in America, we see a broad renewal of American patriotism. And this is something to give thanks for, it really is. And it's something we must build on. To properly understand and love our country, we must know our country's history. Today, I am announcing several initiatives that will improve students' knowledge of American history, increase their civic involvement, and deepen their love for our great country. I appreciate so very much Lynne Cheney, her well, the fact she married a great Vice President, for starters. (Laughter.) But she loves history. She has written books to encourage our children to understand history. Today, she's hosting a celebration of the 215th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution at the Vice President's house she kindly invited Laura to go.

The Declaration declared the colonies independent and called for the liberty of the citizens of the United States. The war lasted from 1775–1783 and ended with the Treaty of Paris , where Great Britain recognized the independence of the United States. In 1789, George Washington was elected the first president of the United States of America. The Constitution of the United States of America, 1789 , outlines the fundamental powers the U.S. federal government and guarantees individual liberty for the citizens of the United States. Limiting the powers of the federal government, the Constitution empowers the states and citizens to govern themselves. The most significant limitations to government's power over the individual were added in 1791 in the Bill of Rights , the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. Included in the Bill of Rights is the freedom of speech and religion (I), the right to bear arms (II), the right to due process of the law (V) and the protection against cruel and unusual punishment (VIII).
