In conjunction with the History Channel and the American Folklore Center of the Library of Congress, the Oral History Association has created a document promoting best practices in oral history education for grades 4-12.  OHA Education Committee members Debbie Ardemendo and Katie Kuszmar are the authors of the document, titled "Principles and Best Practices in Oral History Education (4-12)."  We thank them and the many other individuals who had input into the process.

To view or download the document, go to http://www.oralhistory.org/oral-history-classroom-guide/.  Additional copies are available through the OHA office.
