Before developing these assessment strategies, @mrrablin.bsky.social “felt like I was getting information about what my students needed and then simply ignoring it as I forged ahead with the curriculum.”

Now, he can effectively address students’ needs—and increase learning. 💫

Your Students Struggled on an Assessment—Now What?
You can give an assessment, use the results to design differentiated learning experiences to catch students up, and still keep up with pacing requirements.

One of the most important things settlers who are committed to reconciliation can do today is to stand up to and call out denialist tactics. My colleague @seancarleton.bsky.social alongside Daniel Heath Justice explain more here: theconversation.com/truth-before...

Residential school denialism is the rejection or misrepresentation of basic facts about residential schools to undermine truth and reconciliation efforts.

Today on my podcast Canadian History Ehx: The British Home Children.
From 1869 to 1932, 100,000 children were sent from Britain to Canada. Many were abused and treated as little more than livestock.

A project that I first pitched in 2021 with the help of a team of brilliant undergraduate research assistants finally went online this year: the Yellowhead Institute's Treaty Map is better than I could have imagined, I'm super proud to have been involved

“It rips you open and […] changes everything you thought you knew”. Oh the power and promise of the humanities!
Students should study the humanities not because it makes them better workers but because it rips you open and breaks your brain and changes everything you thought you knew. I *promise* you this. I *promise* it has this ability, no matter how smart you think you are. I have seen it countless times.
Hearing the president of KU say that the way the humanities can protect itself - a question asked by a humanities professor of Spanish - is that her field should direct its public voice to how the Spanish language can impact AI versus the third study of an obscure play…. Just sigh.

Books are "a way of transcending the self". Depleting humanities in schools & unis reduces young people's capacity to understand other cultures, identities & lives & get out of their ideological echo chambers. It's time for this govt to push back. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Great read for history teachers
A quick read to help history teachers think about where our emphasis is in our teaching practice. Are we teaching students to cast a wide net and consider the evidence before developing the argument?
I've been thinking about why so many history students get themselves into a pickle by thinking an argument comes *before* research. More at my blog: catherinedenial.org/blog/uncateg...

It's so much easier to follow back on the desktop version of Bluesky. Just hover the cursor over the avatar of the new follower and their profile comes up without opening it. You can follow from there.
