Thinking Historically About AP Exams with Heimler's History
In this episode, we are thinking historically with Steve Heimler of the popular AP History Youtube Channel, Heimler's History. Heimler's history is meant to support students success on the AP exam "with a healthy mixture of seriousness and buffoonery." In this conversation, though, we see a thought-provoking and contemplative Heimler, who muses on the system of success created by the College Board, the purpose of learning, and the impact this work can have on students' futures.
This episode is part of Thinking Nation's curriculum series, "Thinking Historically About." In most episodes, a scholar helps us better understand the driving questions that students are engaging with in our curriculum. Here, we are excited to dive into the current historical moment with the AP exam just a month away from this episode's release.
