Charting the future by uncovering the past – National History Day with Mark Johnson

Mark Johnson has been teaching high school History and English for the past 15 years, eight of which have been at Concordia. Before that, he taught in Seattle and Boston. His passion is to come up with approaches to teaching history that empower students as historians, that allow students to explore their own passions through rigorous historical research, and that make the process of “doing history” real and relevant to students. The most tangible way he sees to achieve this is through the National History Day program. In today’s program, Mark will talk about the National History Day program and give us some insight on how to get this program started at your school.
