Historical Thinking Project

The Historical Thinking Project is an initiative that promotes teaching and understanding history through critical skills, such as analyzing sources, recognizing different perspectives, and understanding context. Instead of just memorizing facts, it encourages students and educators to think like historians, examining evidence carefully and questioning how and why history unfolds. This approach helps develop a deeper, more nuanced understanding of past events, fostering skills valuable for interpreting information and engaging thoughtfully with history. Overall, it aims to improve historical literacy by emphasizing active inquiry and critical analysis.
