Teaching Hard History Podcast
The Teaching Hard History podcast from Learning for Justice is aimed at educators grappling with how to teach difficult topics like slavery, Indigenous removal, and racism in U.S. history. Featuring historians and classroom teachers, episodes offer historical context, primary source ideas, and concrete strategies for age-appropriate instruction. Homeschoolers and co-op leaders value the mix of scholarship and practice, plus episode notes and resource links. It’s best for adults and older teens preparing to study these topics seriously. The content is heavy by design, so listening in chunks and pairing it with self-care is wise. Using episodes as planning tools before building units can lead to more honest, thoughtful history teaching.
