Symcox, Linda. “Forging New Partnerships: Collaboration between University Professors and Classroom Teachers to Improve History Teaching, 1983-2011.” (2012)

This article focuses on the history of collaboration between K-12 teachers and college history professors to improve history teaching in U.S. schools between 1983 and 2011. The author discusses how educational reforms reflect patterns of conservative and progressive times within the country, analyzes the differences between teaching history and teaching social studies, and explores several history teaching organizations and programs, including the National Council for History Education, the National Center for History in the Schools, and the National History Standards Project. The grant program Teaching American History is also discussed.
