Increasing Student Engagement in Social Studies using Historical Thinking
Friday September 18, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am EDT
Based on the Historical Thinking in Practice (HTIP) PD series, this introductory session provides an overview of the 6 Historical Thinking concepts and explores practical strategies for increasing student engagement in social studies through inquiry-based learning. Participants will examine how incorporating historical thinking can foster critical thinking, make history more meaningful, and increase student engagement. They will also hear from an HTIP teacher participant about how historical thinking-based activities can be effectively integrated into the everyday classroom. Educators will leave with classroom-ready ideas and adaptable strategies to support engaging, student-centered learning. While this workshop is aimed primarily at high school teachers, all educators are welcome.
