Some good Qs from this article for Ts teaching real American history: "Can non-White voices, & specifically Black voices, be heard in my lesson? Are my students empowered by my lesson? Have I utilized the culture of my students to teach the lesson, so that they are empowered?"

Events like the #Jan6thInsurrection offer teachers an opportunity to bring in diverse voices and present a more comprehensive look at U.S. history. @RealRannMiller edutopia.org/article/teachin…
