We need to explicitly teach historical thinking. Peter Seixas's The 6 Big Historical Thinking Concepts informs our work: https://t.co/rxfLSKMVeC

Check out the book by Diana Hess that @SantillanOlivia posted. Good discussion about not opening conversations on closed historical issues (e.g. 'was the Holocaust real") and ones not supportable by evidence.

In debate, students listen in order to refute. In deliberative discourse, students listen to understand.

Here’s a structured approach to controversial conversations: Students research then discuss in groups to explore perspectives of 3 stakeholders to better understand an issue. Then reflect on own position https://t.co/wI8lEdQGH5

Teachers need to draw a line and not permit certain hurtful or hateful conversations. Check out Shifting Out Of Neutral - Jonathan Gold, Teaching Tolerance https://t.co/QRLYhzljiU

Agree with Angela re: Reconstruction. Needs to emphasize agency of the former enslaved people. See Rethinking Schools materials

[Devin Hess @devinhess2]

Students are doing it. We need to support them or get out of their way.
