Professional historiansare increasingly committed to improving the teaching of history at the K-12 level through manyforms of collaboration.History Education 101’s thirteen essays are organized into three sections: context, practice, andnew directions. The essays’ contributors, tenured faculty who teach history teaching methodscourses in colleges and universities throughout the United States, focus on how history educationhas, is, and will be taught to new K-12 teachers throughout the United States.
