Abstract

Providing a comprehensive study of the history of the world allows for students to see and experience various perspectives. History classes are often Eurocentric, providing only one view of a historical event causing voices to be forgotten and cultures to be cast aside. This lack of exposure is detrimental to personal growth and society. Establishing an inclusive curriculum allows for societal change and fights for power against the “attempts made by dominant social groups to maintain control” (Sleeter, 2018). Being culturally aware and accepting allows a community to be established in the classroom, it allows students to think more open mindedly, and it encourages tolerance and respect. This paper will focus on the impact studying multiple perspectives of historical events has on 10th grade students.
