History is more than facts.

history with honesty & delight

You don’t learn history by memorizing facts.

History is the story of people. We learn history when we learn the stories of those who have gone before us.

We need a full-orbed approach to history that puts dates and names in context of stories, maps, and thought.

I absolutely loved the spring training. Thank you for always pulling together good resources. The way he described teaching history reminded me of some of the best teachers I had throughout my education. He also hit on what has been nagging at me as my kids are getting older that while the kids need to be able to tell the story of the event or person (narration) the teacher really makes the lesson come alive and gets the student to move deeper than the surface level story…

Teaching History Classically was so refreshing. Having a degree in history myself, I loved how Mr. Zwerneman not only gave us helpful tips for teaching, he also modeled a love for the study of history, for searching out significant connections between people, places, events, and cultures. These kinds of connections are what made me fall in love with history in my teens, so it was a joy to share part of his presentations with my two middle schoolers. If you want inspiration to SEE history with new eyes, as well as be equipped with practical frameworks and strategies for teaching history in a way that makes it come alive for you and your students, I highly recommend this training!

ANDREW ZWERNEMAN, History forgotten and remembered:

“As a society, we are increasingly divided from our past, which is a significant part of why we are increasingly divided from one another. To put it another way: There is a real sense in which history has been forgotten; and, having forgotten our past, we have forgotten ourselves.”
