H-teach relaunch coming soon!

Hello H-teach readers: 

After a two-year hiatus, H-teach is back! Educators are under a lot of pressure today, was navigate the day-to-day realities of teaching during a global pandemic. We are currently gathering information, resources, and energy, planning for renewed H-Net presence soon.

We are re-visioning the goals of H-teach, with a focus on providing selected, carefully curated resources for teaching history in challenging and divisive time, and building connections and conversations among diverse history educators interested in pedagogical learning.
