Conversations in World History

What is it? Conversations in World History is a bridge to the past connecting scholars to people interested in the deeper meaning of history. Here, my informal chats with historians open up the past, their research, and major questions and debates in the field. The \"Teacher's Corner\" episodes involve talks with K-12 social studies teachers to hear how they bring world history to life. These episodes should help us all engage in the fascinating conversations of world history and to hear from the people who are writing the next pages.

Who am I?

I am an author of picture books as well as engaging and practical books about teaching social studies. I teach at Scarsdale High School in Westchester. I formally taught at Harvest Collegiate in New York City, where I was a founding teacher and served as department chair, instructional coach, and Master Teacher.

My picture books are:

\n
Big Bad Wolf's Yom Kippur (Apples & Honey Press, 2023)
\n
\n
The Pirate Rabbi (Apples & Honey Press, 2024)
\n

My pedagogy books are:

\n
Authentic Assessment in Social Studies: A Guide to Keeping it Real
\n
\n
The Classes They Remember: Using Role-Plays to Bring Learning to Life
\n
\n
Judging for Themselves: Using Mock Trials to Bring Learning to Life.
\n

I was named a New York City Master Teacher for 2014-2015 and was the recipient of the 2014 Robert H Jackson Center National Award for Teaching Justice. I have guest lectured in various graduate school education courses and led professional development for teachers at places such as NCSS, Revolutionary Learning Conference, Columbia Teacher's College, and Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village in Rwanda.

I spent two years as a street educator for Projeto Axé, a Brazilian organization that provides education and outreach for street children in Salvador, Brazil.
