I've been learning so much listening to the @HistoryMatrs podcast! I keep thinking about this old SNL skit where @JerrySeinfeld is trying to teach history students to "just think" without needing any knowledge to disastrous, but realistic consequences😂 youtu.be/Bdf_XdDwc-o?si…

In Episode 3, @bdavidsonKMC asks guests how improving history instruction has impacted literacy. Angela’s answer is an adage we have heard before:😉 “The more you read, the more you’ll know. The more you know, the more places you’ll go.” 📚 -Dr. Seuss bit.ly/4n5pM3C

Glad I had some time to read this study today--always love when research connects the dots: comprehension strategies work best when paired with background knowledge. Such an important reminder that knowledge fuels understanding. @KnowledgeMatrs journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.310…

Enabling students to become proficient readers takes more than “the basics.” 🧠 Comprehension grows from all they learn in science, social studies, and the arts. Read more via @nat_wexler ⬇️ nataliewexler.substack.com/p/whats-really… #KnowledgeMatters #HistoryMatters

“We don’t think that the mere presence of primary sources in a history classroom is ipso facto evidence of good teaching and learning. HT to @4qmTeaching and @KnowledgeMatrs for this one!

Primary sources have their place, but they're not always the best way to teach history. They should be used judiciously--and with support for students' understanding. Check out this thoughtful post by the @4qmTeaching guys via @KnowledgeMatrs Campaign: knowledgematterscampaign.org/post/history-t…

Couldn't agree more @rpondiscio. Jon & Gary @4qmTeaching surface one of the most important issues in elementary social studies, IMHO. @HistoryMatrs @KnowledgeMatrs

Had a "When Harry Met Sally" moment reading this piece, pounding the table and shouting "Oh my God YES!" "We don’t think that the mere presence of primary sources in a history classroom is ipso facto evidence of good teaching and learning." knowledgematterscampaign.org/post/history-t…

S1E1 | A case for teaching history in elementary school | Robert Pondiscio | History Matters Podcast Elementary schools spend almost no time teaching history. How did we get here, and how can we reprioritize this crucial foundation for literacy and knowledge?…

“We need to respect our novices and equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to understand history, including through primary sources.” We are loving today’s @KnowledgeMatrs piece! A must-read from Jon Bassett & Gary Shiffman!

“It’s too much, too fast, and with too little context.” Jon Bassett & Gary Shiffman explain why overloading students with primary sources doesn’t help them do history, and what to do instead. 🔗 knowledgematterscampaign.org/post/history-t… #HistoryMatters #KnowledgeMatters #CurriculumMatters
