Welcome to History With Tiffany, the corner of the internet where I bridge academia and K-12 history education.
My passion is women’s history and helping teachers incorporate women’s intersectional identities and experiences into their classrooms, as well as fostering reflective practices in the classroom.
My historical research centers on women in the long 19th century, and particularly how they interacted with the law.
My educational research centers on identifying women’s invisibility in history curricula and supporting teachers with high-quality materials and practices to address those gaps.
History classrooms should reflect the Historian’s practice.
Engagement—not spectacle—is essential to help students connect with the past and understand its relevance to their lives. For me, engagement means students are in the task, and how engagement looks can vary between tasks, whole classes, and individual students.
Women’s history should be intersectional and central to the larger narrative in our courses, not an addendum.
The Zone of Proximal Development is critical to student success. Teachers need to meet students where they are to design appropriate challenges and supports for their growth.
