On this site, in interviews, distinguished teachers share their strategies and
techniques. Good teaching is more often honored in rhetoric than reality.
And great teachers are generally known locally within their own schools,
 but less often to a larger group of national colleagues. The goal here
 is, in part, to identify and honor those people who have taught with excellence,
dedication, and distinction. But more than that, we believe that these teachers have
 lessons to offer the rest of us and that there are remarkably few forums for hearing their wisdom.

organization that has engaged the talents of scores of classroom teachers and
provided history educators across the nation with new historical resources and
teaching strategies. NCHS’s double mission is (a) to aid the professional development of
K-12 history teachers; and (b) to work with teachers to develop curricular materials that
will engage students in exciting explorations of United States and World history.

All who teach history, anywhere along the line from Grade One to graduate seminars, have
a friend: the National Council for History Education, founded in 1990 as the successor
organization to the Bradley Commission on History in Schools. Until then, we had no
equivalent to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the National Council for
Geographic Education, or the other discipline-based advocacy groups that bring school
and university people together to tackle all the issues that concern them--from curricular
design, K to Ph.D., through state, local, and university standards and requirements,
teacher education, certification, and professional development, to the implications of the
assessment movement, of new technologies, and of school re-structuring.
