Really enjoyed @AHAhistorians roundtable “Teaching History with Integrity Today” this morning with @JohannNeem @dimmerwahr & @Think_History Still wondering what Dr. Immerwahr’s cat’s name is though … 🤔

Teaching social studies, especially to elementary students, is one of the most “high impact ways to address potential learning loss and improve reading comprehension.“ An important note as district’s plan school budgets and schedules for next year. gainesville.com/story/opinio…
