100 Years of Social Studies: What’s Changed & What Hasn’t
Description
Welcome to the 100th episode of The Social Studies Teacher Podcast! 🎉
I truly can’t believe we’ve made it to triple digits. I’m beyond grateful for this community of amazing educators, and I thought it’d be fun to celebrate by taking a trip back in time.
In this episode, we’re looking at 100 years of social studies - what’s changed since 1925, and what surprisingly hasn’t. From old-school textbooks to the way geography and history were taught, we’re diving into the past to better understand the present (and maybe even spark a few ideas for the future).
Episode Highlights:
- A peek at what social studies textbooks looked like in 1925
- How geography and world history were originally taught
- The progress we’ve made in social studies education
- What still needs to change for our students today
Thanks for being part of this milestone moment - here’s to 100 more episodes of making social studies simple, engaging, and fun!
