Enjoyed this convo with @DrIbram about Carter G. Woodson’s (1933) THE MIS-EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO and why this text is so important for our time. It was an honor to introduce the 2023 @PenguinClassics edition of the book, & I hope Woodson’s words can reach an even wider audience.

A4: I like to use old (and new) textbooks as primary sources and then we run into a host of challenging issues. #sschat

[Jonathan McGovern @jgmcgovern13]

Q3: A challenge I've faced is student perceptions of how social studies are "supposed" to be taught and how they experienced it. Essentially, this is the banking model where the teacher deposits content in students. This passive situation doesn't promote Qs #sschat

[Jonathan McGovern @jgmcgovern13]

A2: Providing choice is key. I also like to use primary source analytical skills to interrogate social studies textbooks and get the students excited about critique. #sschat

Hello to #sschat &
@RightQuestion, A1: I also really like the framework that @SHEG_Stanford provides in terms of sourcing, contextualization, and corroboration. The lateral read component is also key. When it comes to the close-read I like to supplement it with critical literacy

I have been thinking quite a bit about these words from James Baldwin. #BlackHistoryMonth

No one is Indigenous until the settler colonizer arrives. I’ve been thinking about this statement a lot.

What happened in Buffalo was tragic.

But we MUST stop saying that it’s indicative of the rise of white supremacy. It’s not Trumps fault or Fox News fault or even Tucker Carlson’s fault.

The Great Replacement theory is not new. It’s who America always was

Acknowledging my racial bias is not the same as knowing how to identify & eliminate racism. Both are important. But not confusing them is also important. As a white person, at some point doing that internal work without transitioning to institutional work looks like entitlement.

In these wildly divisive times at least we can all agree that @themoonpies are fuckin’ rad ⚡️
