Explore the Opportunities and Challenges Shaping History Education
This project brings together three key areas—Historical Thinking, Indigenous Knowledges, and Civic Engagement—to help make sense of the past and its impact on today's world. Start with a theme below to explore research, real-world examples, and ideas in practice.
Three Themes. One Connected Story.
These themes are deeply connected. Together they shape how history is understood, taught, and used. Historical Thinking builds critical understanding, Indigenous Knowledges expands perspective and ways of knowing, and Civic Engagement connects learning to action in the world.

Historical Thinking
Build critical understanding of the past through evidence-based inquiry, multiple perspectives, and analytical frameworks that help students engage with complexity and change over time.
