National Council for History Education (NCHE)
www.history.org/nche
From the NCHE website: The National Council for History Education seeks as allies all who have a personal or professional interest in history in order to tackle the issues that concern them -- from curricular design, through standards and requirements, teacher education, certification and professional development, to assessment and new technologies. We have as our foundation the 1988 report by the Bradley Commission on History in Schools. Its overriding message was the need for much more time in the social studies curriculum, to liberate teachers to offer a more interactive, engaging kind of history that involved both critical and creative thinking. We initiate dialogue with policy-makers, emphasizing the importance of providing enough time in the curriculum for both world and U.S. history and for adequate support of good teaching and materials. We encourage and support regular communication between those who teach history in the schools and those who promote history in the community. We envision a communications network for all advocates of history education, whether in schools, colleges, museums, historical societies,humanities councils, or community organizations.
