95 years ago today, a King was born.

He was a dreamer…and so much more.

A defender of those being oppressed and a challenger of oppressors.

A student of the human condition and a strategist for humane change.

A teacher, a thinker, a truth teller.

King.

How can we continue to cultivate students' natural curiosity in the classroom? 🤔

Question formulation is an essential lifelong skill, but it’s rarely taught in schools.

Inquiry-based learning helps students develop this important skill while also sparking curiosity. 🔍

Teachers, want to incorporate the use of primary sources, but aren’t sure where to start? Check out this National Archives site—it offers sample worksheets of a variety of documents for younger and older students.

It’s #WorldRangerDay!

In 1872, Yellowstone National Park became the world’s first federally designated national park. Since then, protected areas have been established around the world. Rangers remain a key force in protecting these resources.

Do you recognize the woman photographed w/ President Gerald Ford in the Oval Office? What if we told you she was once the most famous child actress in America?

Are you kidding me!?!? A Dunlap copy of the Declaration of Independence, a printing of the Emancipation Proclamation, and one of the 13 printings of the Constitution!! Thank you, Gabriel and @Gilder_Lehrman for making this possible.

@OPS_MrPierson @ProfJWags 😂😂😂 I'm weighing the opportunity cost of being on Twitter right now!

[Bre Wilton @NDE_SS]

@NDE_News Thank you! NDE has done and is doing some amazing things and the world deserves to know about them all!

@lbroady Man. I am glad that Twitter only gives me a few characters on this platform because I could write paragraphs about what you (and your family) mean to me. Thank you for everything from the very bottom of my heart.

[Bre Wilton @NDE_SS]

[Bre Wilton @NDE_SS]
