Summary:

"The purpose of this book is to amplify the stories of practitioners who have critically examined and reflected on their successes and challenges when planning and/or teaching histories that they have identified as difficult. Representing a wide range of educational contexts in the United States and in other countries, - practitioners' (K-12 teachers and museum educators) voices and classrooms are at the center of each chapter. These stories provide readers with rare examples of how teachers plan for, teach, and reflect on difficult histories"-- Provided by publisher.
