APRIL 22, 2025

Invited to attend a TAH multiday seminar on the Cold War at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, social studies teacher Cade Lohrding was thrilled. Cade Lohrding teaches social studies for all three grades at Kiowa County Junior High School in Greensburg, Kansas. I’d never done anything like that before.

The seminar will focus on the ancient Olympics and the daily life surrounding that quadrennial event. Teachers of Latin, social studies, physical education, a range of sciences, and English are just a few of those whom we would encourage to apply.

Fortunately, in light of democracy’s fragility, there has been a steady increase in initiatives from federal and state governments to incorporate civics education in K-12 classrooms. Currently, I serve as the executive director of Thinking Nation , a nonprofit organization working to shift the paradigm of social studies education.

Not long after, I was allowed to listen in on a professional development seminar with a group of public school principals. I figure the educational videos she watches while I work are good enough to cover science and social studies for now. I had begun the week pretty excited about tutoring my own child in narrative writing.
