A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Learn how to enact justice-oriented pedagogy and foster students’ critical engagement in today’s history classroom. Over the past 2 decades, various scholars have rightfully argued that we need to teach students to “think like a historian” or “think like a democratic citizen.” In this book, the authors advocate for cultivating activist thinking in the history classroom. Teachers can use Teaching History for Justice to show students how activism was used in the past to seek justice, how past social movements connect to the present, and how democratic tools can be used to change society. The first section examines the theoretical and research foundation for “thinking like an activist” and outlines three related pedagogical concepts: social inquiry, critical multiculturalism, and transformative democratic citizenship. The second section presents vignettes based on the authors’ studies of elementary, middle, and high school history teachers who engage in justice-oriented teaching practices. Book Features: Outlines key components of justice-oriented history pedagogy for the history and social studies K–12 classroom.Advocates for students to develop “thinking like an activist” in their approach to studying the past.Contains research-based vignettes of four imagined teachers, providing examples of what teaching history for justice can look like in practice.Includes descriptions of typical units of study in the discipline of history and how they can be reimagined to help students learn about movements and social change.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XVI. PERMANENT FUNDS. 1. Management of Permanent Funds. It will thus be seen that the Indiana School Fund has been gathered from very diverse sources, is unequally productive, and variously iranaged. The preceding chapters have aimed, primarily, to present the question historically, tracing the moneys from their origin as State investments, deposits, or proceeds, through their more important modifications, and chiefly for the first period. Some of the funds, as that derived, or supposed to be, from the sale of swamp lands, and certain of the contingent funds, resting upon more recent legislation, have been followed down to the present. This seemed necessary, to make the view complete. As has been seen, however, the new Constitution provided for the consolidation of all the endowments of elementary education into one "Common School Fund." In so far as this relates to the Congressional Township Fund, it had been repeatedly urged by Prof. Mills in his messages to the Legislature (1846-'50), and again in his letters to the convention. The experience of Michigan, admitted a State in 183, almost twenty years after Indiana, but with a school system from 1837, emphasizes the unwisdom of the Indiana policy during that first generation of Statehood. It was advocated also in the convention by friends of a State-controlled system, and particularly by leading members of the Committee on Education. Hence the provision of the new Constitution. Such policy, it was argued, would greatly simplify the management, the disbursement of revenues would be more economical, resources would be equalized for the State--the richer and the poorer localities sharing privileges and responsibilities alike--and the standard of general intelligence uniformly...

"Over the next 150 years, members of the Association stood ready to advance the cause of education. This advancement was neither steady nor easy. The Association endured many crises, some financial and some organizational. Pushed at times by charismatic leaders and driven at other times by the winds of cultural change, the Association was, and still is, an organization of individuals." "The history of ISTA is divided into three eras. The first period deals with the defining of the Association and chronicles its quest for universal public education, and its efforts to establish professional standards and secure benefits for teachers. Although this group of educators was a loosely knit association of individuals, they were able to accomplish much."--Jacket.
