NCHE: 2011 Gagnon Prize Deadline December 1, 2010

Word has come to History Education Hawaii that the deadline for the 2011 Gagnon Prize, sponsored by the National Council for History Education, has been extended to December 1, 2010.

Paul Gagnon was the first Executive Director of the National Council for History Education (NCHE), after having served as Chief of Staff, Editor, and Principal Investigator for its predecessor organization, the Bradley Commission on History in Schools.

Gagnon loved and respected history teachers, identifying their work as essential to the maintenance of a democratic society. He was adamant that all students have the opportunity to learn the story of their country and the world. Gagnon fought tirelessly for standards and frameworks for history that identified a core of history that could be taught in the time available and cautioned against curricula that are too encyclopedic to be taught, or too vague for students to understand.

The 2011 Paul Gagnon Prize will be presented to a K-12 history teacher who exhibits exceptional historical scholarship. The National Council for History Education will notify the winner before January 10, 2011.
