WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:15.000 captioning in progress 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:10.000 My name is Amit Kobrowski I am 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.000 the -- so science specialist 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.000 for the Oregon Department of Education 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.000 in December -- last December 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:22.000 teacher in the Beaverton School 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.000 District for twenty five years 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.000 at Sunset High School and then 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:27.000 before that -- after that 00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.000 at the International School of Beaverton 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.000 so I didn't bring the standards 00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:32.000 but what I did bring was standards 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.000 that are connected to the 00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:35.000 newest laws so let me just 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:36.000 give a little background 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.000 in 2016 we pulled 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:39.000 together a whole bunch of 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.000 teachers from across the state 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.000 to write the social science 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:43.000 standards and this happens 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.000 every seven years -- and I was 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:47.000 chosen to be on that team 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:48.000 back in 2016 -- 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.000 when I was a classroom teacher 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.000 and so -- for two years we met 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.000 and we talked about history 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.000 and geography and political 00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:58.000 and economics and civics and 00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:60.000 government -- and then 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.000 something called multicultural 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.000 education or multicultural studies 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.000 years we created these standards 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:09.000 and then we adopted them into 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.000 state law so in 2018 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.000 we have a set of standards 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.000 and they're -- 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:17.000 anywhere from like a dozen 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:18.000 two 76 standards 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:20.000 depending on what year you teach 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.000 so does anyone have any 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.000 experience in kindergarten 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:32.000 first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:40.000 fifth, sixth oh seventh, eighth 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.000 you've done it all, high school ok 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.000 so you guys got a pretty good 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.000 smattering here so you'll see 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:46.000 you will see standards in your 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.000 classroom -- for every grade 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.000 level is so high school has 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:52.000 three years to teach to those 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:54.000 some students will take four 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.000 years of source studies -- and 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.000 then the rest of the grades 00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.000 it kind of goes down 00:01:59.000 --> 00:01:61.000 from there so -- and then the 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:02.000 third grade year it's kind of 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:03.000 our lowest year as the amount 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.000 of history standards 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.000 as a testing year or used to 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.000 be testing year when we designed 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.000 the standards -- anyway so you'll 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.000 see some of those tonight 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.000 but -- I guess the next class 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.000 I will actually show you -- 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:18.000 these standards and kind of go 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.000 through what the standards are about 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.000 standards do is they try to 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.000 take you through a 13-year 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.000 experience a K-12 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:27.000 experience -- in which 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:31.000 you have -- a wide body of 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.000 knowledge that you know a 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:33.000 lot of content by the time 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:34.000 you're done and you have all 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.000 these like analytical skills 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:37.000 kind of critical thinking 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.000 skills -- that we want to 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.000 have as good citizens -- but 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:43.000 we don't get specific on what 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.000 it is that you need to know 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.000 necessarily that -- comes a 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.000 little bit later with -- what 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:50.000 I'll show you tonight which 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:51.000 is the newest standards that 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:52.000 are coming out around the 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:53.000 holocaust and genocide and 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.000 then -- ethics and standards 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:60.000 article yes and you have lots 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:05.000 oh you didn't like the article - laughs 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:06.000 it seems like a not so great 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.000 yeah I did write the article 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:08.000 so you don't have to like it 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.000 you know and that's okay -- 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.000 but I mean you had a lot of questions 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.000 questions or something -- 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.000 actually hundreds of questions 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.000 what I'm going to do is I'm gonna 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.000 take you through a couple of 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:22.000 my power point slides that I 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.000 share when I go out to speak to 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.000 school districts and sometimes 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:26.000 it's in front of curriculum 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:28.000 directors or administrators and 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.000 people who are in the classroom 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.000 right now but this is sort 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:32.000 of the story that we try to 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.000 tell when we are trying to get 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:35.000 teachers to think about how to 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.000 structure their classroom and 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.000 all you want to teach K-5 right 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.000 is the where you want to end up 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:41.000 would end up so the K-5 space 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.000 is a strange space as 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:44.000 you guys wrote about in your 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.000 questions like we don't require 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:47.000 a whole lot of stuff in K-5 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:51.000 the state says you have to 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.000 teach the standards but you've 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:54.000 already discovered from that 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:55.000 article and maybe your experience 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.000 that in the actual classrooms 00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.000 around the state -- there's 00:03:58.000 --> 00:03:60.000 less and less time for social 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.000 studies and than there is for other 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:02.000 especially for the classes 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.000 especially math and ELA 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.000 and we have national statistics 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.000 on that to about forty five 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.000 minutes a week gets spent on 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:10.000 social studies which is the 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.000 lowest of the core subject areas 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:13.000 so that's not good we want 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.000 to fix that you're gonna do better 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.000 when you get out there -- but 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.000 there are real pressures that 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.000 you read about -- that affects 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:21.000 what's happening there so if 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.000 you have a blank sheet of paper 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.000 in your spirals or yeah you all 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.000 you all have spirals I'm gonna 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:34.000 ask you some history questions 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.000 don't be intimidated by them 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.000 so first question which native 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.000 tribes currently located in Oregon 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.000 most successfully resisted assimilation 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.000 so we got this 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.000 new bill about tribal history 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.000 right now what you think 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.000 is the best answer here 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.000 Paige what do you think 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.000 the Cherokee okay alright 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.000 Bill what did you put 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:60.000 nothing okay Lanie 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.000 no tribe came to mind 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:07.000 podcast this land has anyone heard of this podcast 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.000 really good podcast it's like 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.000 it was supposed to be like five 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.000 episodes it was a story of 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.000 laws in Oklahoma and they 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.000 Court to decide on what should 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.000 happen to the traditional 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.000 lands of the Cherokee which is all 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.000 of Oklahoma originally that was 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:24.000 Indian Territory that's what 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:25.000 it's called and maps Indian territory 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.000 the reservation -- or was just 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.000 off reservation or some cause 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.000 some controversy about where 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.000 the murder happened and because 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.000 it was on native lands it was 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:36.000 jurisdiction it made it all the way 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.000 to the Supreme Court and then really what 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.000 became at stake was -- should 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:42.000 the Indians get back all of 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:43.000 their land of Oklahoma like 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.000 what how big is the reservation 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:46.000 still is that all of the state 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.000 binding still so it made it all the way 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.000 to the Supreme Court last year and this 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:53.000 podcast which was to end with 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:54.000 the Supreme Court decision in 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.000 June of last year -- and then 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.000 the Supreme Court decided like 00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.000 they could decide to have any 00:05:59.000 --> 00:05:61.000 more information it was going 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:02.000 back to the courts this year 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.000 things the podcast but the 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.000 murder case is interesting the 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:08.000 land law stuff is interesting 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:09.000 but if you want to learn about 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:10.000 like Indian history and but 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:11.000 also specifically about Cherokee 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.000 history it's a really

Oregon fighting over 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.000 they have and barbed wire fences 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.000 and all that -- try another 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.000 question here this is US history 00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:61.000 name 3 Americans 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.000 most essential to understand 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.000 the concept of democracy 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.000 list just 3 people okay 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.000 did anybody write down Hamilton 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:12.000 Abraham Lincoln okay good one 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:15.000 another one Washington Jefferson 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.000 no musical yet but maybe 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:20.000 yeah John Locke nice one 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.000 not even in American 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.000 item because influential 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.000 constitution and bill of rights 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.000 yeah I've only done this 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.000 a couple times but I'm gonna 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.000 say that it's gonna be like a 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:31.000 hundred times before someone 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.000 else's Lafayette that with 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.000 pretty impressive how did you pull that out 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:38.000 that's pretty good yes Ben Franklin 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:39.000 why Franklin keeps coming up 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.000 why Ben Franklin 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.000 cuz it's all about the Benjamin's 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:44.000 okay I was going founding 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.000 fathers got a couple Lincoln 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.000 and Roosevelt but anyone else 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.000 saying early - Lomax 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.000 no women no people of color 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:57.000 on your list anywhere 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:60.000 oh you put Obama okay good job 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.000 one you're thinking about K-5 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.000 right so US history is 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:04.000 really early American history 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.000 so maybe that's why you kind 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.000 of lean that way although like 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:08.000 Lincoln Roosevelt our past 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.000 the fifth grade standard 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:11.000 but when you think about 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:12.000 American history of course there's 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:13.000 a lot of possible answers it 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:14.000 is really an endless amount 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.000 of choices you can make and 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.000 I hope that you would start 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:18.000 including some women and some 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.000 people of color -- in your in 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.000 your responses as well 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.000 name example of the US 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:24.000 involvement in a good war 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.000 have we ever fought a good war 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.000 name that war any wars 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:30.000 is fine someone last period said 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:35.000 the war on drugs so you know - laughs 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:36.000 the Afghanistan war 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.000 okay that's a good war 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:41.000 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.000 other wars Pearl Harbor 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.000 so that's sort of which war 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.000 yeah that's the beginning of WWII 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:50.000 yeah way to go talk to those 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.000 second people so WWII 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:53.000 they yeah they were fighting 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:54.000 from '39 to '41 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.000 before us and we've given 00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:57.000 them all not given them selling 00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:59.000 all this stuff yeah that was 00:09:59.000 --> 00:09:60.000 good for us and then who are 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.000 we fighting when we finally got involved 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.000 the axis powers you remember who those are 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.000 I mean you all play 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.000 Call of Duty before right so 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.000 so Germany yeah but we 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.000 don't call the Germans we call em 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.000 from WWII Nazi's right 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.000 it's actually that term the 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:21.000 good war it comes from the 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:22.000 WWII that's how it's 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:23.000 often depicted in like our 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:26.000 textbooks -- but I think it is 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:27.000 a depends sort of answer like 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.000 a lot of our history -- stuff 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.000 you know you can talk about do 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:32.000 we really want to go into the 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:33.000 war to fight the Nazi's why do we take 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.000 so long to fight the war -- 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:36.000 you know what is the economic 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.000 benefit of fighting the war -- 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:39.000 what would happen at the end 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.000 of the war do we pursue justice 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.000 was justice served -- 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.000 the tip and for whom -- 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.000 those would be all good things 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.000 you could write about -- 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.000 easy answer here is the Civil War 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.000 did anybody write down the Civil War 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:54.000 yeah that's pretty good 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.000 that's a pretty good war 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.000 ending slavery seems like 00:10:59.000 --> 00:10:60.000 List the social and political impacts of Westward Expansion 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.000 so just US history so thinking about 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.000 people moving from the east 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.000 coast to the west coast what 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:07.000 were some of the impacts there 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:10.000 social and political 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.000 what are some things to remember 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.000 so when I say Westward Expansion 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.000 you think of what 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.000 about when you think about 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.000 like people coming to Hawaii 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:21.000 tourism but I mean like 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.000 historically but what about 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.000 like white versus Hawaiian 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.000 verses Asian in Hawaii 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:29.000 like Obama from there and he kind 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.000 of credits living in Hawaii 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.000 like being able to navigate 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.000 the racial you know conflicts 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.000 in America just by being in a 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:38.000 very multiracial place 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.000 like Hawaii where it's pretty 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.000 good it's pretty diverse 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:44.000 right but there is some definetly 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:46.000 from conflicts from the native 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.000 Hawaiians wanting the monarchy back 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.000 and native lands and that kind of stuff 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:51.000 interesting all these questions 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.000 are really not to to quiz you 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:54.000 on like what you don't know 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:55.000 what you know about American 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.000 history and global history but 00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:58.000 we're going to show you like 00:11:58.000 --> 00:11:60.000 if we spent time and and maybe 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:01.000 we just study these things 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.000 these things -- or most of 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:08.000 them at least -- but you would 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.000 somebody next to you because 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.000 want to teach in Oregon and 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.000 that history that you will be 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.000 teaching your students K-5 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:21.000 really a single answer to these 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:22.000 questions right there multiple 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.000 answers and -- there some 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:27.000 values being taught here -- or 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:29.000 ideas about how we value like 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:30.000 someone's contribution -- to 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.000 democracy -- and this is why 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:36.000 going to the article you 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.000 that you ask -- why we don't have a 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.000 single test -- statewide test 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:44.000 social science in Oregon -- 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.000 so with math if I were to put 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:47.000 up like five math problems up 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.000 there we could have all like figured 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:50.000 out how to do the algebra or 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:51.000 whatever we need to figure 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.000 out the geometry -- if we did 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.000 that in paragraphs for ELA you 00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:56.000 would be able to diagram the 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.000 paragraph of pick out the verb 00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.000 or tell me what the main idea 00:12:59.000 --> 00:12:61.000 was -- and it would be like 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:02.000 an answer one answer but with 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:03.000 social studies we don't really 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:04.000 have those kind of questions 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.000 we could ask you name the 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.000 really okay that's right but 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:11.000 that's not how we want to teach 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.000 history right well we don't 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:14.000 want you to like drill kids 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.000 with names and facts and just 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:17.000 like random dates that kind 00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:18.000 of stuff they will get all 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:19.000 those things if you teach them 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.000 a really good history they 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:22.000 will figure those things out 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:23.000 know that you know Jefferson 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:25.000 came before Lincoln and there was 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:26.000 Theodore Roosevelt before there 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:27.000 was a Franklin Roosevelt and 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.000 it goes WWI Depression WWII 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:30.000 they'll figure all that stuff out if 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.000 you teach them good history 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.000 you don't have to ask them 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.000 or drill them on the dates 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:36.000 and because we don't have that 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:39.000 kind of test -- that is sort of 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:40.000 a detriment to social science 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.000 because we don't have a test 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:44.000 administrators don't put as much 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:45.000 emphasis on making sure that 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.000 your teaching your kids social 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.000 studies to make sure that those 00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:51.000 kids take tests that will score 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:52.000 well on so they'll make the 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.000 school look like it is doing 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.000 a good job right so they 00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:58.000 mostly they tell you you should 00:13:58.000 --> 00:13:59.000 teach social studies and Asian 00:13:59.000 --> 00:13:60.000 balance is your source for 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.000 teaching with other subjects 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:03.000 but make sure your kids do 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:04.000 really well in English and 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:05.000 make sure that you really want 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.000 math and so we lose on time for 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.000 social studies this exercise 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.000 the ideas is that you maybe 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.000 you do need anymore history actually 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:14.000 right you saw what you your 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.000 doubts were but two the kinds of 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:17.000 questions you want to ask your 00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:18.000 students are the kind of questions 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.000 they don't have a single answer 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.000 are complicated but you want 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:23.000 your kids to debate even in 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:24.000 you know the first and second 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:25.000 grade about what's important 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:28.000 in the community -- or who is 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:29.000 a hero in that community right 00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:30.000 at a very young standards that 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:32.000 you'll see -- a little bit 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.000 today and and more next time 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.000 so I want to talk about a couple books 00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:38.000 that you don't have to read although 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:39.000 they're great books you should read 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.000 but I want to tell you what I got 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.000 from them and how I use them to 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:44.000 to think about teaching to the 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.000 standards and more importantly 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.000 to think about how you want 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.000 to setup your classroom -- 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.000 around teaching social studies concepts 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.000 this first book is 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.000 really New York Times bestseller 00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:58.000 Bill Gates said it was the book of the year 00:14:58.000 --> 00:14:59.000 it came out a couple of years 00:14:59.000 --> 00:14:62.000 ago and my dad gave it to me as a 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:03.000 gift actually and you know I've 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:04.000 been studying history my whole 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:08.000 life and so -- -- my dad came 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:09.000 from overseas dropped off this 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.000 book and I was like oh he's 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.000 store was really thinking that 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:14.000 much about getting a booking 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:15.000 just a world history the title 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:16.000 so he got me the book -- so I 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:17.000 kind of put it on the shelf and I 00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.000 forgot about it a couple years 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:20.000 went by and I was like hearing 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:21.000 this buzz about this book and 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:23.000 I was like I think I have that book so 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.000 packing up for summer vacation 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:26.000 real quick grab this book with 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.000 me pretty thick but it's 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.000 amazing because it changed my 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:32.000 way of thinking about world 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.000 history which had been a 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:35.000 lot of sort of like national 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.000 histories like European 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:38.000 history my major in college 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:40.000 was middle eastern history -- 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:41.000 I taught western civ for a long time 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:42.000 I was always thinking 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.000 about like specific countries 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.000 histories and how they fought 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:47.000 one another and all that -- 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.000 but this really takes human 00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:50.000 evolutionary history -- and 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:51.000 talks about basically the 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.000 central center part of his 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.000 story is like why have sapiens 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.000 homo sapiens like us as a species 00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:58.000 why have we dominated 00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:61.000 the world as opposed to any 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:03.000 other species right other like 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.000 homo rectus homo habilis 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:07.000 those guys Neanderthals -- but 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.000 also like other animals like 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.000 there's more of animals and 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.000 ours then there is of us these 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:13.000 were insects certainly than the 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:14.000 rest of us they're stronger and 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.000 faster animals than human beings 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.000 so why did sapiens succeed 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.000 right and so he's gonna go 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:21.000 through the story and -- one 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:25.000 of the his dedication -- is to 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:26.000 Jared Diamond is who he dedicates his 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:27.000 book to and this is a book that 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.000 I actually use in my classroom 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.000 it's a heavy geography book 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:34.000 pretty well -- it's probably 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.000 more like middle school high 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:38.000 school book but there is a -- 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:39.000 National Geographic video that 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:40.000 goes along with it it would 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:41.000 be just good background for 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:42.000 you probably would use in your 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:43.000 classroom but good background 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:45.000 reading or video for you but 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:46.000 in Guns, Germs, and Steel what 00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:47.000 Jared Diamond talks about is he's an 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:50.000 anthropologist geographer he is 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:51.000 trying to answer the question 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:52.000 of like why did European 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.000 societies succeed and have 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.000 so much stuff somebody asked 00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:58.000 me the question like why you 00:16:58.000 --> 00:16:59.000 guys have so much stuff and we 00:16:59.000 --> 00:16:60.000 have such a little stuff the 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:01.000 person asking the questions 00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.000 from Papua New Guinea kind of 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:04.000 off the coast of Australia 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:06.000 and so he tries to answer this question 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.000 yeah why did Europeans succeed 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:10.000 right the easy answer is 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:11.000 well white people are better 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:12.000 than everybody else right now 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:13.000 it was the answer that most 00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:14.000 people gave throughout history 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:15.000 is that whites were just had 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:16.000 a better civilization had 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:18.000 better religion you know genetically 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.000 whatever the time period was 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.000 it was an excuse for why white 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:23.000 people succeeded in non white 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:25.000 people did not -- so he goes 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:26.000 kind of takes a more of a 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:28.000 scientific approach and says no 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:29.000 actually when you look through 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.000 like the geography of the 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:32.000 region like the kind of animals 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:33.000 that are on a continent are 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:34.000 different like South America 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.000 doesn't have any animals that 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.000 can carry -- like a large load 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:41.000 of protein producing animals 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:43.000 so that put South America sort 00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:46.000 of a disadvantage -- Europe is 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:47.000 center setup East West versus 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.000 north south so it's really 00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:51.000 easy to migrate as a person 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:52.000 East West because your climate 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:53.000 doesn't change same thing for 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:54.000 your plants you can move your 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.000 plants East West very easily -- 00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:58.000 it's much harder to go north 00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:59.000 south because gets hot and cold 00:17:59.000 --> 00:17:61.000 right so -- Africa was at 00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:02.000 a disadvantage because it's -- 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.000 north south versus Asia Europe 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:06.000 and then germs like Europeans 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.000 had a lot of germs and -- they 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:10.000 built up an immunity to those 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.000 terms over time but then when 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:13.000 Europeans came to North America 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.000 and South America they brought 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:16.000 with them these germs and the 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:17.000 people living here in North 00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.000 and South America have been 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.000 isolated from those germs for so long 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:21.000 that it wiped them out right so 00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.000 ninety percent of people who 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:25.000 died after European contact 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.000 die from germs not from warfare 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:31.000 these advantages us Europeans 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:33.000 are us western civilization 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:36.000 right now races and all that 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:37.000 so I really goes back inside 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:39.000 okay so if he's doing a geography 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:40.000 thing what can I say 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.000 about human beings and what 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:44.000 we have what skills we have -- 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:45.000 that made a successful versus 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:46.000 all the other species because 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:47.000 chimpanzees could have done 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.000 the same thing as we do -- 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.000 what happened there the book 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:54.000 this book is so popular that 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:56.000 Ridley Scott is picked up for 00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.000 a movie so it's gonna make a 00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:59.000 movie in the next couple years 00:18:59.000 --> 00:18:60.000 which is amazing when a history 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.000 book turns into a movie and so 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:03.000 this is the guy who directed 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.000 The Martian and Gladiator and 00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:06.000 Blade Runner you know those 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:08.000 movies but so look for Sapiens 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.000 in a movie theater if I see you 00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:11.000 there I'll buy popcorn and this 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:12.000 is what I want you to think about 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:14.000 for your social studies class is 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:17.000 that human beings are special 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.000 because -- we can cooperate 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:24.000 flexibly and in large groups 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:26.000 and so you think about the 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:27.000 animal kingdom in like the 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:28.000 first thing that you know 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:29.000 comes to mind are like other 00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:31.000 groups of animals a corrupt 00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:32.000 can cooperate in these huge 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.000 groups right and one of them 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.000 is bees and so we've seen 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:38.000 bee hives and you know it's really 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:39.000 cool what they build all the 00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:40.000 things that they can do and I 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:42.000 can defend the hive in you know 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:43.000 if it stayed in danger they 00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:44.000 can move the hive right there 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:45.000 all of them leave and build 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:46.000 a new hive somewhere I will do 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:49.000 anything to protect the queen 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:50.000 and that's awesome that's what 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.000 large groups do right 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:53.000 a cooperating this large group 00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:54.000 but what Harari points out is that 00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:56.000 that they don't do so flexibly 00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:58.000 right the worker bees never 00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:60.000 get together and say let's 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.000 overthrow the queen bee and 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:03.000 create a worker's republic of 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:04.000 bees and change this monarchy 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:05.000 right and make it like let's 00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:06.000 be empowered ourselves like 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.000 that never happens because bees 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:09.000 are working off of instinct 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:10.000 they don't really have this 00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.000 ability to change the course 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:13.000 of their life they just do the 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:14.000 same thing generation after 00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:17.000 generation chimpanzees are much 00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:19.000 stronger than us and faster 00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.000 than us and they cooperate 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:23.000 with each other right they 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.000 they exist in these bands right 00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.000 groups of maybe five to fifteen 00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:29.000 and they cooperate with one 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:30.000 another but they don't do so 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:31.000 in large groups chimpanzees 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:33.000 must have intimate knowledge 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:34.000 of each other to cooperate 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:35.000 right so that's why they're 00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:36.000 always grooming and cleaning 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.000 each other they can't cooperate 00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:39.000 with strange chimpanzees they 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:41.000 go to war with strange chimpanzees 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:42.000 but they don't cooperate large 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:43.000 groups you never see a hundred 00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:45.000 chimpanzees doing something but 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:47.000 if you did we'd be in trouble 00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:48.000 that's Planet of The Apes right 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:49.000 in Planet of The Apes they got 00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.000 it and we're done for so 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:53.000 with chimps you get this idea of 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:54.000 you know you can do all kinds 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:55.000 of things with chimps they 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:57.000 communicate like we can right 00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.000 maybe not audibly but we 00:20:59.000 --> 00:20:60.000 can teach them sign language 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:01.000 and you can do all all kinds 00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:03.000 of things and you can exchange 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:04.000 a banana for another good are 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:05.000 good for a banana they will 00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.000 do all that what you can't do 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:09.000 with chimpanzees and this is 00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:10.000 another -- part Harari talks 00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.000 about is that humans can 00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:15.000 construct stories in that we 00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:17.000 all believe in and we will do 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.000 anything to sort of fulfill the 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:21.000 story to make the story true 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:23.000 and so one example to give 00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:25.000 is like religion right we are 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.000 willing to believe that if we 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.000 do something right or avoid 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:30.000 doing something wrong that we will 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.000 we will be rewarded if maybe 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:33.000 in this life but for sure in 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.000 the next life okay so that's 00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.000 a human characteristic you 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.000 can't tell a chimpanzee like 00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.000 hey when you work really hard 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:43.000 give me all your bananas and 00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:45.000 in the next life when you die 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:46.000 you're gonna go to chimpanzee 00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.000 heaven and in chimpanzee heaven 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:49.000 and you'll be rewarded with 00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:50.000 hundreds of bananas right 00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:51.000 like no chimpanzee would t 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.000 ever do that like you 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.000 look at you and be like what 00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:55.000 do you think I'm a human no way 00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:56.000 but humans will do this 00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:57.000 they will build pyramids right 00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:58.000 they will sacrifice time and 00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:61.000 energy and everything to build 00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:03.000 pyramids -- for the king of 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:04.000 or for the pharaoh in this case 00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:05.000 with the promise that they will 00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:06.000 be rewarded in the next life 00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:07.000 right and you can think about 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:08.000 hundreds of examples like this 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:10.000 from ancient and modern world 00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.000 money is another thing that 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:12.000 Harari talked about when we tell 00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:14.000 a story about money that this 00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:15.000 piece of paper you have in 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:16.000 your pocket well if you like 00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:18.000 me don't ever to carry cash 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:19.000 you carry a card that is just 00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:23.000 a digital you know -- electron 00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:24.000 the tells someone that you can 00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:26.000 pay for something and you go 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:28.000 to a perfect stranger which 00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:29.000 a chimpanzee would never do 00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:30.000 you give this person a piece 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:32.000 of paper or a card and they will 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:33.000 give you something in return 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:35.000 something you can actually eat or drink 00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.000 or wear or drive or whatever 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:38.000 and you just trust that this 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:40.000 piece of paper could be used 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:41.000 a week from now a month from 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:42.000 now a year from now right and 00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:44.000 that's a really strange thing 00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:45.000 but it's another story that we 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.000 tell ourselves it's an economic 00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:48.000 story we tell ourselves to make 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:49.000 sure that we cooperate in these 00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:51.000 large groups all strangers 00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:52.000 cooperating over buying and 00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:54.000 selling stuff another story 00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:56.000 tell ourselves is nationalism 00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:58.000 right a story of who's on 00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:59.000 the in group and who's on the 00:22:59.000 --> 00:22:61.000 out group and we build walls 00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:02.000 right and here's the Great 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:04.000 Wall of China and on one side 00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:05.000 the Chinese on the other side 00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:06.000 the Mongolians and we're 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:08.000 building this wall to keep 00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:09.000 our country safe to keep our 00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:12.000 country great and some people 00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:13.000 still talk about walls right 00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:15.000 to keep countries great and 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:16.000 so this idea of of nationalism 00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:19.000 of walls -- is important one 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:21.000 nationalism is I think this 00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:22.000 at really at the center of 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.000 what Harari writes about how we 00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:27.000 define who we are as a nation 00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:28.000 and of course that's really 00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:29.000 what's social studies education 00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:31.000 is all about in the first place 00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:32.000 as well we have a class called 00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:33.000 social studies in nineteen 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:34.000 sixteen they invented this 00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.000 class called social studies to 00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:37.000 teach people what it meant to 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:39.000 be a nation here is a painting 00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:41.000 from French Revolution not the 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:42.000 American one although it looks kind of 00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:44.000 similar at issue is a big deal 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:46.000 because the American Revolution 00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.000 it changed things for the 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.000 colonists -- the plantation 00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:52.000 owners they no longer had 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:54.000 to pay British taxes but they 00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:55.000 still got to keep their slaves 00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:57.000 right so wasn't really that revoluntionary 00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:58.000 the French Revolution actually 00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:59.000 changed things got 00:23:59.000 --> 00:23:61.000 rid of the monarchy completely 00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:02.000 killed a lot of people a lot 00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.000 of the monarchs -- and then it 00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:07.000 ended slavery -- and then it 00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:09.000 kind of flatten out all 00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:10.000 the classes so there was this three 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.000 classes of French people 00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:13.000 the royalty, the clergy and everybody else 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:16.000 gonna be equal and so is a 00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:17.000 true revolution and it was 00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:18.000 bloody and they had counter 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:20.000 revolutions and then deporting 00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:22.000 came to power in it depends 00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:23.000 right it wasn't a simple story 00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:25.000 but the idea of the revolution 00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.000 was fraternity like brotherhood 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:29.000 equality and liberty and that 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:30.000 was it that's a great kind 00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:31.000 of nationalism that's a kind of 00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:33.000 nationalism that we talk about 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:34.000 as positive nationalism giving 00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:36.000 rights to people expanding 00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:37.000 rights this is the kind of 00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:39.000 nationalism that's really 00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:41.000 bad right this is the call of 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:43.000 duty Nazi nationalism the kind 00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:44.000 nationalism that says like 00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:46.000 only these kind of people 00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:47.000 with this color eye this color 00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:49.000 skin these people are the 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:50.000 in group and everybody else 00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:51.000 should be exterminated right 00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:53.000 now specifically these groups 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:54.000 should be exterminated that's 00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:55.000 the negative kind of nationalism 00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:56.000 and balancing that out in our 00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.000 classrooms it's still really 00:24:58.000 --> 00:24:59.000 relevant like when you talk 00:24:59.000 --> 00:24:60.000 about who it is to be and 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.000 what it is to be an American 00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:05.000 who is an American -- like 00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:06.000 you want this you don't want 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:08.000 that right now we're getting 00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:10.000 some of this in our news right 00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:11.000 we're hearing more about these 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:15.000 kind of incidents -- -- I 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:17.000 was just up at Portland and 00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:19.000 Wilson High School do where 00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:23.000 Wilson is -- a Cleveland High School so two -- 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:26.000 Portland city schools and both of them 00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:29.000 swastikas on desks -- nooses 00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:31.000 hanging outside the school -- 00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:33.000 like scary stuff stuff that we 00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:35.000 thought we defeated in WWII 00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.000 the last goal that he talks about 00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:39.000 human rights that we have told 00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:41.000 ourselves that nationalism 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:42.000 is not enough right so I have 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:43.000 to give Americans rights for 00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:45.000 British people rights really 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:47.000 everybody who's human who can 00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:48.000 cooperate flexibly in large 00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:50.000 groups deserves human rights 00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:52.000 and so that's really much of 00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:53.000 the center of our standards 00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:54.000 when you actually look at them 00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:56.000 you'll see that -- it talks a 00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:57.000 lot about social studies a lot about these 00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:58.000 kinds of freedoms or these 00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:60.000 kinds of rights those are 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:02.000 important to our our standards 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:04.000 to convey to your students in 00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.000 that K-5 space especially 00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:08.000 cooperate what it means to 00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:10.000 to allow people to express 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:11.000 themselves what it means to 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:13.000 protect people's civil rights 00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:14.000 right that balance between 00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:16.000 like it's a free country I 00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:18.000 can say anything I want but 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:19.000 I also have to be free to 00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:20.000 learn in this environment so 00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:21.000 I can't be bullied or I can't 00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:24.000 be felt to be uncomfortable 00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:26.000 in this classroom one of the 00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:27.000 things we're doing with we have 00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:30.000 the standards these 2018 standards and then 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:31.000 the Oregon government passed a 00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:32.000 law saying we know what we need 00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:34.000 to make these standards better 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:36.000 and so they wanted they passed a law 00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:38.000 about ethnic studies right so 00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:40.000 ethics studies was supposed to be like 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:43.000 Latino history black history 00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:44.000 I say history but I mean social studies 00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:47.000 studies -- Asian American and 00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:51.000 native American but also LGBTQ 00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:54.000 and -- religious minorities -- 00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:56.000 and people with disabilities 00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:57.000 so when you add them all up there's 00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:58.000 like twelve different groups 00:26:58.000 --> 00:26:59.000 that are covered in our new 00:26:59.000 --> 00:26:63.000 standards and -- when you look 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:04.000 at our current standards you're 00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:05.000 gonna see something called 00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:08.000 multicultural studies those 00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.000 are like a holding place that in 2016-18 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:14.000 we put those to the side 00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:16.000 because we knew ethnic studies 00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:17.000 standards were coming -- but 00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:18.000 we do know what they're gonna 00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:20.000 be yet so -- now I'm gonna 00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:21.000 show you the ethics studies 00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:22.000 standards in just a few minutes 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:24.000 I won't show you all of them just the ones for 00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:26.000 your grade level -- and we're 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:27.000 in the process right now from 00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:29.000 now until 2021 00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:32.000 feedback from everybody like 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:33.000 you guys so today you're gonna 00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:35.000 participate a process when you 00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:36.000 write feedback about ethnic 00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:38.000 studies standards and I'll take 00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:39.000 those back to the state and 00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:40.000 will actually re-write those 00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:43.000 things based on your responses 00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:44.000 as well as hundreds of other 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:49.000 usable in your classroom right 00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:51.000 so it is when they become a law 00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:52.000 in 2021 you will 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:53.000 be using the by then you'll 00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:54.000 all be in a classroom you'll 00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:55.000 be using them in your classroom 00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:57.000 and their kindergarten through 00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:02.000 so that's all to say that why 00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:03.000 would we want you to teach 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:04.000 ethnic studies there is no 00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:05.000 textbook called ethnic studies 00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:06.000 that's appropriate for the K-5 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:07.000 there's not even one 00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:09.000 appropriate for the high school 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:13.000 level type texts right now -- 00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:14.000 it's a real hoping by delaying 00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:15.000 for two years that we will 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:17.000 get some some better books in 00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:18.000 the meantime there's a lot of 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:20.000 small books like this one takes 00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:21.000 a series of books this one's 00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:23.000 about African American Latino 00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:24.000 history but there's also a 00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:27.000 Native American one LGBTQ etc 00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:28.000 so you're gonna have 00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:29.000 to put these in your library 00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:30.000 like you're gonna have to go 00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:31.000 out and get some of these books 00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:32.000 or you're going to have to get your school to buy 00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:33.000 some used books and read up on 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:34.000 some of the background history 00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:36.000 here because as much as you're 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:37.000 missing kind of the standard 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:39.000 textbook American history with 00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:40.000 a little quiz we did the front 00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:41.000 you're probably definitely 00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:42.000 missing this history this book 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:44.000 is not very long 200 pages 00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:47.000 each on a different part of 00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:49.000 this case different age of 00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:50.000 American history pretty usable 00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:52.000 for you right you wouldn't use this for 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:53.000 the like a third grade student 00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:54.000 but definitely pretty usable 00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:56.000 for you so what Ortiz says in 00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:58.000 here is really good and I kind 00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:59.000 of put the quote on the board 00:28:59.000 --> 00:28:61.000 because I think like if you 00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:03.000 take away one thing from what 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:05.000 in the standard to get to this idea 00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:08.000 the goal of this new historical renaissance 00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:09.000 is to create a new origin narrative 00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:12.000 a new story about who we are as Americans 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:13.000 but that's the narrative 00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:15.000 but we want to tell a new narrative not just 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:16.000 Washington and Jefferson and 00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:18.000 Hamilton but a new story in 00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:19.000 the way that sort of Hamilton 00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:20.000 tries to do that musical right 00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:22.000 tries to stay like let's put 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:24.000 story of an American revolution 00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:26.000 and the founding which is a new 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:27.000 way to look at it money which 00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:28.000 we pierced the presumption 00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:30.000 of American innocence and 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:31.000 examine more deeply the glossed 00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:32.000 over understanding American 00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:34.000 empower students to gain that 00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:35.000 knowledge my guess is that 00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:36.000 most of you went through high 00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:38.000 school program in which -- they 00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.000 did teach you about slavery 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:42.000 and they did teach you about 00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:43.000 for the dark sides of American 00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:44.000 history and I did talk about 00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:46.000 some hypocrisy of American 00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:48.000 involvement in war and you know 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:50.000 some of those things that's 00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:52.000 what this new renaissance of 00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:53.000 American history is overly 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:54.000 world history but for our 00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:55.000 purposes American history 00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:57.000 about is is really complicating 00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:60.000 the story but not to become 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.000 cynical about American history 00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:03.000 or to run down like that the 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:05.000 greatness of America -- but 00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:06.000 really to just tell the whole 00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.000 story right and to figure out 00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:10.000 like where are Latino actors in 00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:11.000 the story and where are are 00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:12.000 African Americans and where 00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:14.000 are the women how can you 00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:15.000 can't think of a woman that 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:17.000 was important to my party when 00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:19.000 right I mean there's 15-20 00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:20.000 of you in here and you 00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:22.000 had 3 shots at it so 60-70 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:23.000 people and nobody could 00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:25.000 come up with a woman or person 00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:26.000 of color like that's a problem 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:28.000 and it's really not your fault 00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:29.000 right it's really the fault 00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:30.000 of your teachers but you can't 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:31.000 repeat that right now it's 00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:33.000 up to you it's sort of like 00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:34.000 complicate the narrative and 00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:36.000 get them to know and let's have 00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:37.000 everyone write down 3 women 00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:39.000 and be like oh yeah Jefferson too 00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:41.000 right and go the other way around 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:42.000 that liberty justice 00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:43.000 for all that's actually from 00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:44.000 his quote but it's also the way 00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:45.000 you're reading started right 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:46.000 talked about the importance of 00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:47.000 teaching about liberty justice 00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:50.000 for all so good ethnic studies 00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:52.000 history is not about dividing 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:54.000 America between like the brown 00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:55.000 people over here the black 00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:57.000 people over here and and the 00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:59.000 white people over here -- it's 00:30:59.000 --> 00:30:60.000 this idea of telling the full 00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:02.000 story so we do have justice for 00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:03.000 all right and that's what you 00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:04.000 should try to get out of your 00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:06.000 your students and I think the 00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:08.000 reason I started with the Harari book 00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:09.000 is this idea that you can 00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:11.000 do that through stories but 00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:12.000 you can do that through telling 00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:13.000 stories because that's how 00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:15.000 humans learn and humans will 00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:17.000 do anything for a good story 00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:18.000 right they will build pyramids 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:21.000 the build walls we'll go to war 00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:22.000 will make peace we'll make the UN 00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:24.000 we'll identify human rights 00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:25.000 will do all those things 00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:26.000 with good stories and that's 00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:28.000 your talent like K-5 00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:29.000 you don't have to worry 00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:30.000 that much about like facts 00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:31.000 and dates and stuff that 00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:34.000 doesn't event come up until fourth grade so 00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:36.000 tell stories to kids about like 00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:37.000 what it means to be a community 00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:38.000 member tell them stories about 00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:40.000 heroes and in their community 00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.000 from their community -- those 00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:43.000 are the kinds of things you 00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:45.000 can engage students on this last 00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:47.000 book it's called Learning From The Germans 00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:48.000 and it's amazing read 00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:49.000 a lot of history books in my 00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:51.000 time but this is another one 00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:53.000 with -- like you just take 00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:55.000 pause to think about how people 00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:58.000 in this case do history and 00:31:58.000 --> 00:31:59.000 what I mean by that is that 00:31:59.000 --> 00:31:61.000 her book starts off looking at 00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:03.000 how the Germans as a people as 00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:05.000 a nation are dealing with the 00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:06.000 fact that they're responsible 00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:09.000 for WWII for the Nazi's 00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:11.000 the holocaust for the genocide 00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:13.000 for the concentration camps like 00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.000 they did that there's wasn't 00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:17.000 like 10 Nazi's did that it was 00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:18.000 the entire German people 00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:20.000 did that -- they voted for that 00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:22.000 government they supported that 00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:23.000 government they went to work 00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:26.000 for the government and now 00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:27.000 they're responsible for and are 00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:28.000 taking responsibility for it 00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:29.000 and they do so in amazing ways 00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:31.000 to build huge memorials to the 00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:33.000 holocaust they have museums 00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:35.000 choir history for every kid 00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:37.000 spend millions of euros to make 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:39.000 sure that history stays remembered 00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:40.000 so the first part of the book is 00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:41.000 like that process because they 00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:43.000 didn't start that way we can 00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.000 get on a kinda side note but like 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:46.000 how the Israelis have done 00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:47.000 history in that case in 00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:50.000 -- Jerusalem is actually that's 00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:51.000 a new museum the old Jerusalem 00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:54.000 the old holocaust memorial museum 00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:55.000 you'd walk in it was like 00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:57.000 this huge building almost like 00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:59.000 a warehouse and you would like 00:32:59.000 --> 00:32:60.000 walk around the walls and 00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:01.000 you know to look at the pictures 00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:03.000 on the walls and you know it's 00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:04.000 you know the topic right so 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:07.000 like after a while like an hour 00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:08.000 it's sort of a heavy experience 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:09.000 like looking at dead bodies 00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:10.000 in you're looking at people's 00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:12.000 lives being destroyed by 00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:14.000 by war by genocide ovens right 00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.000 all that stuff in just too 00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:17.000 much of like you actually walk out 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:20.000 the new museum on the one 00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:21.000 in Jerusalem now and the one 00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:23.000 in Washington DC is actually 00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:24.000 kind of set up the same way 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:26.000 where you are on a narrow path 00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:28.000 and you have to walk and you 00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:29.000 have to see everything and 00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:30.000 like you can skip over stuff 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:31.000 if you want to run through it 00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:33.000 but like they designed this 00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:34.000 thing so you can see like from 00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:35.000 the beginning 1933 00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:37.000 like what was life like 00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.000 before and then when it starts 00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:40.000 to happen and then you know 00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:43.000 there's places stop watch video 00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:45.000 what's that - he went there as well 00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:47.000 yeah so -- so just thinking 00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:48.000 about how you design history 00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:50.000 lesson like that's how the 00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:51.000 museum decided that it might 00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:52.000 just like throw a bunch of 00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:53.000 stuff at you they figured out 00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:55.000 that if they tell a story and 00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:56.000 you walk through this path of 00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:57.000 history like you absorb it and 00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:59.000 different way what you got from 00:33:59.000 --> 00:33:60.000 the second half of her book is 00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:01.000 okay Germany is doing a great 00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:03.000 job what about the American 00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:05.000 south why are we still arguing 00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:06.000 about monuments to confederate 00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:08.000 soldiers like why people still 00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:09.000 fighting for flags not only 00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:11.000 Mississippi Alabama but like 00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:13.000 around here right we see conferate 00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:15.000 flags all the time like you 00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:16.000 cannot fly a Nazi flag in Germany 00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:18.000 one it's against the law 00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:20.000 and two it's just socially like 00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:23.000 abhorrent to do that -- so what's 00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:24.000 with the south and kind of the 00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:26.000 north this places like Oregon 00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:28.000 where we do still have -- -- 00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:31.000 confederate flags -- which is just 00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:32.000 bizarre on its face right -- 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:34.000 it was a war to separate from 00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:35.000 the rest the unions why would 00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:37.000 be finding that without even 00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:39.000 getting the delivery issue 00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:41.000 so she talks about this word 00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:43.000 does anyone take German 00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:46.000 took German in high school 00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:47.000 this has gotta be like my favorite 00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:48.000 thing I've ever read this one word 00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:50.000 look at the size of this word 00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:54.000 vergangenheitsaufarbeitung which mean 00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:55.000 I'm not saying it right which 00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:57.000 means -- working through the past 00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:58.000 right these Germans have 00:34:58.000 --> 00:34:60.000 this whole word that just 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.000 deals with this idea that like 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:04.000 you have to work through your 00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:06.000 stuff your past to move to 00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:10.000 the future and that if I would 00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:11.000 say I didn't get to write all 00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:12.000 the standards I was part of a 00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:15.000 team but -- but now that I'm 00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:17.000 in charge of the standards -- 00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:18.000 that's what I want you to do 00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:19.000 in a classroom I want you to 00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:21.000 work your students through the 00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:23.000 past like work them through our 00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:25.000 history as a state as a country 00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:27.000 as the world I think about 00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:29.000 all those things that we can 00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:31.000 make right if we teach it the 00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:32.000 right way and so that's what 00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:36.000 I kind of want to work on -- 00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:37.000 as you think about the lessons 00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:38.000 you want to create for classrooms 00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:40.000 and carve out the time to do 00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:41.000 that and fight against your 00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:43.000 principle whose going to tell you 00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:45.000 you need more math and more ELA time 00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:47.000 like becoming a citizen 00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:48.000 is going to be important they 00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:51.000 need social science for instance 00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:53.000 can somebody read this aloud 00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:55.000 do you recognize it kind of 00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:57.000 or totally first of all in 00:35:57.000 --> 00:35:59.000 here what you get is the kind 00:35:59.000 --> 00:35:60.000 of the center pledge that we 00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:01.000 make right the pledge of allegiance 00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:03.000 we make to a flag and to a republic 00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:05.000 right to ideas not to a person 00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:07.000 we don't pledge to the king 00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:11.000 really a country specifically 00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:12.000 it doesn't event say the United 00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:13.000 States of America just to this 00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:16.000 Republic -- just the idea of 00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:18.000 government of a republic form of 00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:19.000 government but a representative 00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:21.000 government and then these 00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:22.000 are the ideas of liberty and 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:23.000 justice for all right and 00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:25.000 then this big capital letter 00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:28.000 nation right so we as a people 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:29.000 so then you look at this 00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:30.000 is like a primary document so 00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:31.000 this how I would use it in my 00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:32.000 class with my students right 00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:34.000 teach them the pledge how many people 00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:35.000 have said the pledge when they're going to 00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:37.000 school every day or just like 00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:39.000 once a week every day okay so 00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:41.000 they know the pledge so they can 00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:42.000 do the history right you can 00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:43.000 take them through this process 00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:46.000 show them the original pledge 00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:47.000 they'll be like yes sir read it 00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:48.000 wait a second -- stuff missing 00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:50.000 why it why this version right 00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:51.000 and they start talking about 00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:52.000 where this pledge come from 00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:54.000 it came from 1892 00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:55.000 right what was going on in the 00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:56.000 country 1892 we have 00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:57.000 a bunch of immigrants coming 00:36:57.000 --> 00:36:59.000 to this country and the white 00:36:59.000 --> 00:36:60.000 Europeans the white Anglo 00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:02.000 Saxon Protestants were really 00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:03.000 afraid like what to do with all 00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:04.000 these people they don't speak 00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:05.000 English they don't speak German 00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:06.000 which was our other language 00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:09.000 back then -- so we're gonna 00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:11.000 cut off all Asian immigration 00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:12.000 right so1882 ban all 00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:14.000 Chinese immigration by 1910 00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:15.000 slowing down all the other 00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:17.000 Asian immigration get rid of 00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:19.000 them Mexicans were sort of 00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:20.000 we're going we don't know what to do with yet 00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:22.000 but will move them back 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:23.000 during the seasons we'll 00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:24.000 make them go back to Mexico 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:25.000 during different seasons by 00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:28.000 push back of -- people for 00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:31.000 Mexico -- but Europeans we're 00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:33.000 gonna let them in -- but we 00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:34.000 want to Americanize them this 00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:36.000 is quickly as possible so one 00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:37.000 way to do that is to make them 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:40.000 say this pledge and -- promise 00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:41.000 that they will be dedicated 00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:43.000 to this to be a legion to 00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:45.000 this nation right and that 00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:46.000 they will pursue liberty and 00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:47.000 justice because they're coming 00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:49.000 from countries that have kings 00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:50.000 and we all like that over the 00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:51.000 coming from countries that had 00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:53.000 communist revolutions and we 00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:55.000 like that -- and so that's 00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.000 where this pledge starts 00:37:58.000 --> 00:37:59.000 when we had them say this pledge 00:37:59.000 --> 00:37:60.000 in 1892 which by 00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:01.000 the way is the 400th 00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:03.000 anniversary of Columbus right 00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:05.000 that's why there was a world's 00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:06.000 fair in Chicago in 1892 00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:07.000 to celebrate the 00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:11.000 they were panicking about what 00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:12.000 does America what's making a 00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:13.000 look like a hundred years from 00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:14.000 now with all these immigrants 00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:17.000 coming in this is how we used 00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:19.000 to say the pledge why do we say 00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:20.000 like that anymore the Nazi's 00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:23.000 ruined it for everybody yeah so 00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:24.000 until the 1940s we 00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:25.000 say the pledge like this and 00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:26.000 then we're like wait a second 00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:27.000 that's how it was doing it 00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:28.000 and that it looks so good so 00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:30.000 we changed now it's kind of 00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:31.000 in the heart but you know your kids 00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:33.000 won't know the Nazi's in second grade 00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:35.000 probably but they can talk 00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:37.000 about the words in here and 00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:38.000 can talk about immigration 00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:39.000 and they can talk about making 00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:41.000 everybody the same right they 00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:43.000 can talk about those ideas 00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:44.000 and I think that's the point 00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:46.000 about also what ethnic studiesi 00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:48.000 is supposed to do is -- we kept 00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:52.000 them sort of open -- so that 00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:53.000 you would have flexible in 00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:54.000 your classroom so if you have 00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:56.000 a classroom that's made up of 00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:57.000 you know 20% Latino 00:38:57.000 --> 00:38:60.000 kids pull on that history 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:02.000 pull on that culture ask them 00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:04.000 about their their community 00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:07.000 Americans in your in your 00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:08.000 classroom and or a specific 00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:10.000 tribe from Oregon I do you 00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:11.000 want to build on that right so 00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:13.000 you don't have to teach like 00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:14.000 just this thing that that's in 00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:15.000 the standard you can kind of 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:16.000 think about expanding to these 00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:18.000 groups and pull on the local 00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:19.000 laws you have so if you have a 00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:20.000 student who has some background 00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:23.000 in holocaust education -- 00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:25.000 ask her to speak up the pledge 00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:26.000 is really important to this country 00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:28.000 people freak out when 00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:30.000 you don't say the pledge they 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:31.000 will arrest a fourth grade boy 00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:33.000 for not saying the pledge right 00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:35.000 it is not a law anywhere that 00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:37.000 you have to say the pledge you 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:38.000 can kneel during a football 00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:40.000 game there are consequences 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:41.000 professionally if you do that 00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:43.000 right -- but -- it's serious 00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:46.000 issue right and so I think 00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:47.000 your students are ready to talk 00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:48.000 about this fourth fifth grade 00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:49.000 this kid being arrested for 00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:51.000 not saying it talk to your students about 00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:53.000 what it means to say or not say 00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:54.000 and why they chose not to say 00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:56.000 right now what does it mean is 00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:57.000 it just straight up disrespect 00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:58.000 to the teacher or the flag 00:39:58.000 --> 00:39:59.000 with the words actually mean 00:39:59.000 --> 00:39:61.000 something and if a kid doesn't 00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:03.000 want to say it let's figure out 00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:05.000 why that is the under God part 00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:06.000 that was added because during 00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:07.000 the Cold War we're fighting 00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:09.000 the communists and they were 00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:11.000 godless communist communism 00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:12.000 doesn't believe in god and so 00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:13.000 we want to say that would be 00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:14.000 different in the communists so we 00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:16.000 put under God in the title we 00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:18.000 also added the United States of America 00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:20.000 and then THE instead of my -- 00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:22.000 flag indivisible with liberty 00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:26.000 and justice for all yeah so 00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:27.000 we don't have a test because we 00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:28.000 can't agree on what the content 00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:30.000 should be for social studies 00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:33.000 so we don't have a test 00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:36.000 because we don't have a test -- -- we 00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:37.000 don't get any money because 00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:40.000 we -- treasure what we measure 00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:41.000 so we give money to stuff 00:40:41.000 --> 00:40:42.000 that we can test and since we 00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:44.000 don't test we don't get money for 00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:45.000 social studies which means there's 00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:46.000 less social studies teachers which 00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:47.000 means you have less knowledge 00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:49.000 about social studies -- which 00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:50.000 means if you want a classroom 00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:52.000 you have a harder road to go 00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:54.000 ahead because you need to still 00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:56.000 teach to these standards and 00:40:56.000 --> 00:40:57.000 the kids are responsible for 00:40:57.000 --> 00:40:59.000 these standards -- ultimately 00:40:59.000 --> 00:40:61.000 to know them but -- you have 00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:02.000 been really well prepared to 00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:03.000 to do them so some of it's 00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:05.000 going to be on you to do some 00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:06.000 more stuff so like the holidays 00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:08.000 are coming up you know and 00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:09.000 for second third grade class 00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:11.000 of those things or maybe that 00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:14.000 has both like really religious 00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:16.000 communities and really not 00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:17.000 religious communities either 00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:19.000 agnostic or atheism -- 00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:21.000 so you want to talk about that 00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:24.000 the Mormon history of Oregon is 00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:26.000 really interesting -- Mormons 00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:27.000 like I moved here from 00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:30.000 Chicago and -- I knew a couple 00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:33.000 church in Chicago but I never 00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:35.000 experienced any anti-Mormonism 00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:36.000 and I moved out to Oregon and 00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:37.000 people like talk about the 00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:40.000 Mormons like the worst thing 00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:41.000 ever I didn't know about this 00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:42.000 and says to people you know 00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:43.000 I started learning about this 00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:46.000 sort of anti-Mormonism -- that 00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:49.000 we have out here -- and you 00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:50.000 know you talk about the history 00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:51.000 of Mormon Westwood Movement 00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:52.000 they came because they were 00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:54.000 fleeing persecution -- and 00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:55.000 then they did some bad things 00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:56.000 that Indians when they got out 00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:57.000 to Utah right so you can talk about 00:41:57.000 --> 00:41:59.000 that too -- so yeah religion 00:41:59.000 --> 00:41:60.000 I think is an important part 00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:03.000 of don't want to proselytize -- 00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:04.000 but you want to respect the 00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:06.000 diversity of your classroom and 00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:09.000 be true to the way religion 00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:11.000 like pyramids and great walls 00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:12.000 and other things like religions 00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:14.000 are really powerful force in 00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:16.000 in human history realistically 00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:17.000 they are a 100 book I could give you but 00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:19.000 you'll start off with the -- 00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:21.000 get a textbook right and so 00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:22.000 you know you get that K-5 00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:24.000 textbook or that K-3 00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:26.000 textbook -- and so I 00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:28.000 definitely read that and then 00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:31.000 high school or middle school 00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:32.000 and and you've got to the 00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:34.000 booking with those blue pages 00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:35.000 like ours skip over those 00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:37.000 like read like those pages 00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:38.000 are actually the ones that 00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:39.000 are sort of the interesting 00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:41.000 side stories -- and then you 00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:42.000 know then you get on to some 00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:45.000 research from there so -- like 00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:46.000 I'm aware that most the stuff 00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:47.000 is gonna be online they're 00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:48.000 gonna be looking at right so 00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:50.000 those will take you to other places 00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:52.000 or depending on when you get in the classroom 00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:53.000 like a lot of our schools 00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:54.000 are moving to a - 00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:56.000 a service called Newsela 00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:59.000 isn't it Newsela so they're 00:42:59.000 --> 00:42:61.000 making digital textbooks and 00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:02.000 so you might go to a school 00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:03.000 that actually have a textbook 00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:04.000 but your students open up their 00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:05.000 Chromebook most of our schools 00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:07.000 are getting Chromebooks -- and 00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:08.000 then they can get on to Newsela 00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:10.000 and then you design the 00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:11.000 textbook Newsela will work 00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:13.000 with you as a teacher or as a 00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:15.000 department or as a district to 00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:16.000 create like a textbook that you want 00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:18.000 so they'll send you like primary 00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:21.000 documents like old articles -- 00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:23.000 as well as like more current 00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:24.000 stuff and so they're trying to 00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:26.000 bounce back between like using 00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:27.000 so you can read an article from 00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:28.000 the period of the civil war 00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:30.000 as your teaching civil war and 00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:31.000 then read something that's 00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:33.000 history has more recently but yeah 00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:34.000 I think that starting with those 00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:36.000 books would be the way to start 00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:37.000 we don't have a test how do we 00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:40.000 know what to teach and what's 00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:42.000 good content that's a very good question 00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:44.000 the answer really is -- you're 00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:45.000 gonna get some guidance from 00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:49.000 your colleagues -- I am hoping 00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:50.000 that there is something that 00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:51.000 you're passionate about in 00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:53.000 history -- and that you make 00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:55.000 that the center of what 00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:57.000 you do -- and then use our 00:43:57.000 --> 00:43:58.000 standards to guide you around 00:43:58.000 --> 00:43:61.000 that -- and then you know 00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:03.000 you come to our your school 00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:04.000 is either holding professional 00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:05.000 development or you come to 00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:06.000 one of things that I host 00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:10.000 someone in your district -- who does similar 00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:12.000 stuff -- and they will help 00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:13.000 you sort of gain that there 00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:15.000 are some really good websites 00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:16.000 like I'll give you one that I 00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:18.000 think is really good it's free 00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:22.000 it's the Stanford History Educators Group 00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:24.000 SHEG 00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:26.000 and why I like it is it does two 00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:27.000 things on its on its webpage 00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:30.000 On one side of the webpage 00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:31.000 it's called reading like 00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:34.000 historian and it just has these 00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:35.000 lessons for you they're all 00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:37.000 based in primary documents so 00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:39.000 of background knowledge to 00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:41.000 get into 'em it's like there's 00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:42.000 a little paragraph tells you 00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:43.000 the background knowledge and you can read the 00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:44.000 document itself and you kind of 00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:46.000 figure out what's going on and 00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:47.000 there's they provide questions 00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:50.000 for you for your students and they 00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:52.000 their level like their K-12 00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:54.000 those are really good 00:44:56.000 --> 00:44:57.000 are building them all the time 00:44:57.000 --> 00:44:59.000 so there's there like validated 00:44:59.000 --> 00:44:61.000 by Stanford but they're being 00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:02.000 added to all the time by history 00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:04.000 teachers and then on their 00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:05.000 second click on the website 00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:07.000 is -- something called beyond 00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:09.000 the bubble and its their version of 00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:12.000 a history test and it's what I 00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:13.000 am trying to do here in Oregon 00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:14.000 I'm trying to get the same 00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:15.000 kind of test to actually give 00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:17.000 your students a test like this 00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:18.000 but it's where they would get 00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:19.000 one of these primary documents 00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:21.000 that they might have read in a 00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:23.000 first for the web page -- and 00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:24.000 then they would be historians 00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:25.000 they would be asking questions 00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:27.000 about the document right so 00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:29.000 they wouldn't be random facts 00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:30.000 right but they would have to 00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:31.000 know something about history 00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:32.000 to be able to answer those 00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:33.000 questions so if you check those 00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:34.000 two things out first that's 00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:35.000 a great like teach yourself 00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:37.000 some history -- it's American 00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:40.000 and world -- but also it's a 00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:41.000 really like nice like thing 00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:43.000 to drop from your students and 00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:45.000 use with them they usually -- 00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:46.000 they're scaffolded too so its 00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:48.000 have kids who are ELL 00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:50.000 struggling with with language 00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:52.000 there's leveled readings 00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:55.000 so you can give what are the 00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:57.000 fifth grade same class the same 00:45:57.000 --> 00:45:59.000 topic but it might be a reading 00:45:59.000 --> 00:45:61.000 that's been edited down or the 00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:03.000 words are defined -- for 00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:05.000 for that level readings 00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:07.000 so I was thinking of new stuff what you have 00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:08.000 a from of you here is actually two 00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:09.000 documents I put together for 00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:11.000 you first couple pages actually is 00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:12.000 the new Oregon law it's called 00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:15.000 call it the holocaust genocide law 00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:20.000 in it requires K12 to address lessons 00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:21.000 around the holocaust and other genocides 00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:22.000 what you see on the 00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:25.000 left hand side like where it says 00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:28.000 B in parentheses that's one 00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:29.000 of the objectives that the 00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:31.000 legislature says we have to 00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:34.000 teach to okay on the right 00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:35.000 hand side are the actual 00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:36.000 social studies standards as they 00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:38.000 appear now so when you look 00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:40.000 at these next next class or 00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:43.000 these -- you'll see the same 00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:44.000 language and so it's a case 00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:46.000 for kindergarten one is for 00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:48.000 first grade etc and so the 00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:49.000 way this is set up basically 00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:51.000 is that if you teach a lesson 00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:53.000 about rules to reduce conflict 00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:55.000 and promote fairness that's 00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:57.000 great that's your kindergarten 00:46:57.000 --> 00:46:58.000 lesson and if your principal 00:46:58.000 --> 00:46:60.000 asks you like are you meeting 00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:01.000 the standards you say yes I 00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:02.000 just taught a lesson about that 00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:04.000 you would meet that K-1 standard 00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:07.000 however you wouldn't meet the B 00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:08.000 standard the one on the left 00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:10.000 hand side to reach the B 00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:11.000 to to say that you've 00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:13.000 taught what's in the B 00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:14.000 you actually have to teach a 00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:16.000 lesson about cultural diversity 00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:17.000 helping students gain insight 00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:19.000 into the importance of human 00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:21.000 rights for all people so if 00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:22.000 you do that in kindergarten 00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:24.000 then you can check off B 00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:27.000 and you could check off K1 K2 etc 00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:29.000 right so you can teach B 00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:30.000 to get to the stuff on 00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:31.000 the right side but you can't 00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:32.000 teach the right side to get 00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:34.000 the stuff on the left side 00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:35.000 that will be an important thing 00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:38.000 this is why I'm going to ask you for your feedback 00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:39.000 so on the left hand side 00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:41.000 it says proposed ethnic studies 00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:42.000 kindergarten and then the right 00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:44.000 hand side it is the standards 00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:46.000 that are for kindergarten 00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:49.000 so -- I included in the rest 00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:50.000 packet here kindergarten 00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:52.000 through fifth grade these are 00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:54.000 standards that were created by 00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:56.000 a panel of community members 00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:57.000 mostly non educators or the 00:47:57.000 --> 00:47:58.000 couple teachers they're mostly 00:47:58.000 --> 00:47:60.000 non educators -- people who 00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:03.000 represented the different -- 00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:04.000 ethnic groups that we have in 00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:05.000 our state that are protected 00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:07.000 by civil rights laws so the 00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:09.000 groups I talked about before 00:48:11.000 --> 00:48:13.000 for about 18 months -- 00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:14.000 they met and they wrote these 00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:17.000 content standards -- they got 00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:19.000 handed to me in August and 00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:21.000 then I've been taking these 00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:23.000 around the state slowly to 00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:24.000 people comment on them you're 00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:26.000 like a fifth group to see these 00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:27.000 mornings group -- and you guys 00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:28.000 and I've taken it to four different places 00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:30.000 around the state administrators 00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:32.000 teachers and the next stop 00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:33.000 is community groups -- so next 00:48:33.000 --> 00:48:34.000 week I'm gonna be talking to 00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:35.000 community group about these what 00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:37.000 I need from you though is 00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:38.000 to pick a grade level that 00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:39.000 you're most comfortable with 00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:40.000 that you've maybe spent the 00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:41.000 most time and are you thinking 00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:42.000 to spend the most time right 00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:43.000 you know you going to be a 3rd grade 00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:45.000 teacher or 2nd grade teacher whatever 00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:47.000 pick that group and then I want 00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:49.000 to read through those five or 00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:51.000 six standards that are there 00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:53.000 and really think about like 00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:55.000 can I teach the standards do 00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:56.000 I know enough to teach the 00:48:56.000 --> 00:48:57.000 standards do I understand what 00:48:57.000 --> 00:48:60.000 it's asking for -- will the 00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:01.000 community that I'm teaching 00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:05.000 in accept the standard right 00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:06.000 this ethics as we talk about 00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:07.000 teaching a different kind of 00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:08.000 history a different kind of social studies 00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:09.000 so will they be able 00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:11.000 to deal with what we're doing 00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:12.000 does it maybe not go far enough 00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:14.000 like these are a little bit too 00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:16.000 you know like too easy I mean 00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:17.000 we need to ask our students to 00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:18.000 look at more you can comment 00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:20.000 that way too so just really 00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:22.000 think about like what would I 00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:23.000 need to be able to teach you 00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:24.000 how supports what I need what 00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:26.000 what kind of education would I need or 00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:28.000 you know maybe these are too 00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:29.000 hard too easy for students 00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:31.000 any of that stuff right I'm gonna give 00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:32.000 at that and then actually 00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:34.000 the form for you to fill out 00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:35.000 that I'm gonna take back with me and 00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:37.000 bring back to the state and 00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:38.000 like I said use it for our 00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:39.000 revision process so like this 00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:40.000 is really a good chance to 00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:41.000 what I'm actually saying 00:49:41.000 --> 00:49:44.000 about like making a change 00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:45.000 right now that you will have 00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:47.000 an impact on state policy going 00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:50.000 for for the next 10 years
