What is worth knowing with John Shekitka (Teacher’s Corner episode)
I speak to John Shekitka about what is worth knowing in social studies education. We begin with a discussion of the Neo-Confucian philosophers' and their view on moral vs. intellectual learning and then we branch off from there in a fun, lively, thought-provoking conversation about history education. John is a professor of social studies education at Manhattanville College and after teaching high school and serving as a principal he has taught at Columbia University's Teachers College, Marist College, and elsewhere. You can read his article here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/20965311221145446
Here are two books recommended by John:
House of History by Anna Green and Kathleen Troup
Sources of Chinese Civilization by William Theodore de Bary
