PIH Workshop

The Persistent Issues in History (PIH) Workshop seeks to develop and support a community of master teachers who are skilled in engaging their students in problem-based historical inquiry (PBHI). We believe that pre-collegiate history study should develop citizens who can critically weigh evidence for historical claims and use content knowledge generated from sound historical analysis to inform their decisions about enduring societal questions.

Members of the PIH Community seek to harness the power of interactive technologies to support problem-based historical inquiry (PBHI). PIH members have access to tools and resources specifically designed to help social studies teachers design and implement PBHI activities in their classrooms. These include:

Access to Decision Point! (DP), an Internet-based learning environment for both learners and teachers.
