A6: watching the stream for greater access to resources, but teaching of prominent women within a wide breadth of societies seems to be a good start! #sschat

@shervettemiller @DrKristenDuncan This might work too: ucsd.libguides.com/c.php?g=90745&… not sure of what centuries are included

@DrKristenDuncan @AnnaMMills I understand completely! I felt like I had only been taught such a small portion of the whole image, not that our standards haven't been guilty of that continuously... #sschat

@AnnaMMills I felt so cheated when I learned more about Rosa Parks that I taught ALL my students the full story...no matter what the actual subject of the course was lol #sschat

A4: I know what I learned about Rosa Parks 25 years ago pales in comparison to her actual story and role in the Civil Rights Movement. When I teach about anyone I try to get my students to understand their story, who they are, why they made the choices they did. #sschat

A5: we can help students understand the historical importance of multiple perspectives by representation and being advocates within our community, also as a model to students for civic engagement #sschat

@MikeHasley @DrKristenDuncan Most definitely! The shift from inevitability to recognizing the struggles of the individuals within these narratives is imperative #sschat

@DrKristenDuncan A4: usually WOC narratives deal with struggles. Meaning, the story can sound like it was inevitable that they would have to struggle, as if it was their fault. What needs to be taught is that most often, CHOICE was involved by the larger society to make it harder for WOC. #sschat

Q4: Let's go back to the women of color that are currently in social studies curriculum. What kind of narratives are we presenting about them?#sschat

A4: following the similar responses, the narratives within these figures are about singular events or achievements, rather than the wider power struggle that is continuous. or that one event solved every issue of the advocates, which is a misrepresentation #sschat

@brian_loring Most definitely! Discussions within Teaching for a Pluralistic Society has given me more opportunity to learn of woc, especially within regards to art and poetry! #sschat

A3: Most of the time people tell the story from the "Great Men" of history. This is probably due to much of the people getting to decide what the curriculum is are from white families. #sschat

A3: this scarcity comes from systemic power differences in those who teach versus those who write curriculum. sharing the experiences of those who have been continually silenced is something that scares those in power but must be changed #sschat

@johnsonmaryj @PSNTPS Thanks for the share of resources! #sschat

A2. If I were teaching Civil War, I'd work with ELA colleagues to bring in literary works by African American women. Here's a starter list from @PSNTPS: primarysourcenexus.org/2018/03/collec… #sschat

A2: since almost every historical event can be analyzed from the perspective of all involved, the perspective from women of color can be brought into most, if not all, events. searching for additional resources, especially from diverse perspectives is the first step #sschat

@CHitch94 Similar experience, I was enrolled in a History of the Races class last semester and enjoyed it thoroughly. The Combahee River Collective was one of my favorite units! #sschat

A1 cont) I was so excited to learn about women of color like Diane Nash, Daisy Bates, Septima Clark, Fannie Lou Hamer, etc. as an undergrad. Whole new world for me. #sschat

A1: prominent figures, like Rosa Parks, within the Civil Rights were most discussed thru my secondary ed experience. Currently, profs stress multicultural perspectives in the classroom #sschat

@CHitch94 Thanks! Looking forward to the experience.

@EducEllidoro Welcome to the chat, Dorothy! So glad you are here, Hoosier. Looking forward to learning from you tonight.

I'm Dorothy from Indiana and I'm a pre-service teacher at IU. Looking forward to the chat #sschat

A2: The best resource I've come across so far includes Nearpod. It has so many avenues to implement varying degrees of collaboration into the classroom. #educW200chat

A1: It's important to integrate tech into my classroom to embrace the developing needs of students and to prepare students to be digital citizens. #educW200chat

youtu.be/2u69y_db4rM Production and creativity in the classroom are fundamental to making the teaching of social studies a more fun experience. Check out this production I created about Benjamin Harrison! #w200 @Kjantara

time.graphics/line/217621 This timeline can be used with lessons surrounding World War 2 and the effect of the war on societal norms. Creating timelines assists in teaching history by allowing the student creativity to highlight events they favor. #w200 @Kjantara

Creating concept maps can be a useful tool for both the educator and the student. Within this concept map, I mapped out a standard and how I would choose to tackle objectives in terms of standards. Students can easily map out their own ideas for projects also! #w200 @Kjantara
