For educators, victories are tied up in privilege and tradition, resulting in a history that is half muddled myth and half urban legend. We\u2019ll chat, compare notes, and untangle who gets to tell the story of our profession.","Description":"The essential question for the session is, \u201cWho determines the truth?\u201d To get at participants\u2019 mental models, they\u2019ll be asked to do a brief written response to organize their thinking around the guiding questions, \"what do I know to be true about the history of American education? How do I know this true?\" Participants will share their thinking via PollEverywhere\/Google Forms and after data collection and organization, we\u2019ll use crowdsourcing in the room to get to at what think we can prove is the truth around one of the patterns. In addition to the conversation, there may be brief in-put sessions around two or three common myths in American education and two or three unknown names in American history, depending on the flow of the conversation.  Finally, select excerpts from historical documents will be shared to highlight participants\u2019 areas of interests. At the end of the session, we\u2019ll revisit the essential question and share thinking using the \u201cI used to think\u2026 and now I think\u2026\u201d framing device.","Link":["https:\/\/edhistory101.com\/"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"The session will take the form of a fireside chat with the opening invitation around the essential question, \"Who determines the truth?\" We'll use a protocol for unpacking the accuracy of historical facts and use brief texts to support our thinking.","Presenter":["Jennifer Borgioli Binis"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Ed History 101"],"PresenterEmail":["jborgioli@gmail.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":78,"ScheduleLocationID":14,"SubmitterID":3078,"AdditionalComments":"Thank you for the opportunity to geek out with others!","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":6}}
