Reading, Writing, and Researching for History: A Guide for College Students

Patrick Rael (Professor of History at Bowdoin College) has created an invaluable guide for history students, from asking good historical questions to citing sources.

Perspectives is the professional magazine for the American Historical Association.  Search this website for "teaching" to find many rich articles on teaching by historians.

A great first stop for primary sources (especially for Americanists) and teaching ideas (for everyone).  Designed for K-12 teachers, teachinghistory.org is a clearinghouse for primary sources and contains great skill-building reflections and exercises.

William Cronon (Professor of History, Geography, and Environmental Studies at University of Wisconsin-Madison) has generously shared a wealth of invaluable resources, especially for teaching historical research methods.

Stanford's Institute of Design uses human-centered strategies for collaborative problem-solving.  A number of their techniques can be used in the classroom (use their methods).  You'll never see brainstorming the same way again.

Stanford's Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning runs "Teaching Commons," which is a dynamic resource to participate in conversation and share resources from extraordinary teachers. 

Founded by Sam Wineburg, author of the must-read Historical Thinking and Other Unnatural Acts, SHEG offers insightful history curriculum.

Great resources for educators and for everyone who cares about how history can be a powerful tool for social justice.

Past Present is a fascinating, entertaining, and inspiring podcast that is informative for anyone interested in how history helps us understand our current world.
