The Historical Thinking Community of Practice (HTCP) aims to support a network of educators interested in designing historical thinking learning activities, museum exhibits, lessons, projects, units, or courses focused on teaching, learning, and assessing historical thinking.
We will be hosting seven English and French sessions between January 2024 and April 2024. Each session will focus on a key aspect of designing historical thinking learning activities, and participants will be invited to generate new ideas, give and receive feedback, and share experiences teaching and assessing historical thinking. In the final session participants will be organized into breakout groups where they will share a 3–5 minute presentation that describes a learning activity, museum exhibit, lesson, project, unit, or course they created during the HTCP, and reflects on their learning during the HTCP.
