Back to EpisodesPortrait of a Citizen: Rethinking Civic Education with Darcy Daniels & Denise Furlong
Description
In this episode of Teaching History Her Way, I'm joined by Darcy Daniels and Denise Furlong. If you've listened before, you've heard the brilliance of Darcy, and Denise adds to the magic. They're on the podcast to talk about their brand new book, Portrait of a Citizen (Routledge).
Together, we dig into what it actually means to raise engaged, thoughtful citizens in today's classrooms, and how Darcy and Denise built a framework that goes way beyond "memorize the Bill of Rights and move on." We talk origin stories, the thinking behind the book, what they're seeing work with real students, and practical ways you can start bringing this into your own classroom tomorrow.
Grab the book by clicking here! If you teach civics, government, or really any flavor of social studies, Portrait of a Citizen needs to be on your shelf. Darcy and Denise built an awesome toolkit, and it's the kind of resource you'll come back to again and again.
Let's be friends and continue the conversation!
