Flores, Marcos Manuel – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Demographic trends in Texas continue to change and diversify the population; however, despite this trend, school districts and state officials continue to maintain a curriculum that is not relevant to this diverse population.

Urrieta, Luis, Jr.; Calderón, Dolores – Association of Mexican American Educators Journal, 2019

These settler colonial logics include violence by these groupings against Indigenous…

Salinas, Cinthia; Alarcón, Jeannette D. – International Journal of Multicultural Education, 2016
Notions of citizenship, as taught through the official state curriculum, are narrow and fail to consider the importance of histories that reveal a composite of diverse races/ethnicities, multiple languages, and complex patterns of immigration and transnationalism. The richness of such histories embodies the experiences and contributions of…

Pawlowicz, Rachel; Grunden, Walter E. – History Teacher, 2015
Educators at the secondary school level who teach History, or Integrated Social Studies more broadly, may be expected to possess at least some passing knowledge of the Holocaust, the genocide perpetrated against European Jews by Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. Yet, when it comes to the Pacific War and Japanese war crimes and atrocities…

Erekson, Keith A. – Arts and Humanities in Higher Education: An International Journal of Theory, Research and Practice, 2011
Recent literature on history teaching has emphasized "doing history"--whether as "active learning", cognitive science, or with simple photocopies of primary sources.
