Big things are happening for history education in Virginia! Building a state council from the ground up takes years of dedication from people who believe deeply in this work. It means more support for teachers, stronger networks across schools and institutions, and a louder voice for history education in the Commonwealth.

We're proud to celebrate this moment with our colleagues at VCHE and grateful to everyone who helped make it happen. Swipe through to meet the team leading the charge!

History teachers are natural community builders. They learn students' names (the preferred ones!), show up at the games and recitals, and run the morning check-ins that say "you matter" before anyone opens a textbook.

In our newest blog post, Annie Evans (New American History, and our 2026 Sarah Drake Brown Award recipient) makes the case that this isn't a side skill. It IS the work.

She also shares how a small pandemic webcast grew into History Matters, the joyful Friday-morning community with Dr. Joanne Freeman, and how an offhand comment sparked the Books for Teachers campaign putting scholarship directly into teachers' hands.

History teachers do something remarkable: they take the events of the past and make them feel urgent, personal, and alive. They help students see themselves in the story of humanity, and understand why that story matters.

To every history educator out there: thank you. Thank you for the late nights lesson-planning, the dog-eared primary sources, the Socratic seminars that turned into something you didn't expect. Thank you for helping students ask harder questions, think more critically, and care more deeply about the world they've inherited.

You are the reason history education matters, and we are so grateful to walk alongside you in this work.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week from all of us at NCHE. 💚

We'd love to hear from you: What's a teaching moment you'll never forget? Share it in the comments!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week from all of us at NCHE! 💚

Here's a reminder of what we see every day in the work you do: you teach, you adapt, you help, you uplift, and you love. Our community of historians, scholars, and fellow educators is grateful for the way you bring the past to life for your students and prepare them to be thoughtful citizens of the future.

NCHE is in your corner, today and every day.

The American Revolution wasn't just Founding Fathers and famous speeches. It was also shopping lists, invoices, and IOUs.

Tomorrow at 7:00 PM ET, Dr. Catherine Person (American Philosophical Society) takes us inside the everyday paperwork of Revolutionary-era Philadelphia to show how the "unremarkable" stuff can open up a whole world for your students.
