Thinking Historically About the State of Social Studies Education with Jessica Ellison
In this episode, we are thinking historically about the state of social studies education with the Executive Director of the National Council for History Education, Jessica Ellison. For the next six weeks, Thinking Nation's Executive Director, Zachary Cote, will interview various leaders in social studies education in the lead up to Civic Learning Week (March 11-15, 2024). In each episode, Zach will talk to the guest(s) about the state of social studies education broadly, while also looking specifically at the data found in a white paper published by Education Week in November 2023, which Thinking Nation commissioned. We hope that these conversations stir up ideas in the Civic Learning and Social Studies communities about how we can move forward and best support and sustain social studies education in the future in order to preserve and protect our constitutional democracy.
