Weaving the myriad threads of evidence-based human knowledge into a master narrative that stretches from the beginning of the universe to the present, the Big History framework helps students make sense of their studies in all disciplines by illuminating the structures that underlie the universe and the connections among them. Teaching Big History is a powerful analytic and pedagogical resource, and serves as a comprehensive guide for teaching Big History, as well for sharing ideas about the subject and planning a curriculum around it. Readers are also given helpful advice about the administrative and organizational challenges of instituting a general education program constructed around Big History. The book includes teaching materials, examples, and detailed sample exercises. This book is also an engaging first-hand account of how a group of professors built an entire Big History general education curriculum for first-year students, demonstrating how this thoughtful integration of disciplines exemplifies liberal education at its best and illustrating how teaching and learning this incredible story can be transformative for professors and students alike. 606 $aHistory$xStudy and teaching 606 $aPhysical sciences$xStudy and teaching 610 $aancient history. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aarchaeology. 610 $aastronomy. 610 $abig history. 610 $abiology. 610 $achemistry. 610 $acosmology. 610 $aearth sciences. 610 $aeducation. 610 $aevolutionary biology. 610 $ageneral education. 610 $ageology. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ainterdisciplinary. 610 $aliberal education. 610 $amaking connections. 610 $anew approach to teaching history. 610 $anew approach to teaching science. 610 $apedagogy. 610 $aphysics. 610 $aplanning a curriculum. 610 $asample exercises. 610 $astory of the universe. 610 $ateaching guide. 610 $ateaching materials. 610 $ateaching. 610 $atraditional human history. 610 $aundergraduate professors. 610 $aundergraduate students. 610 $auniverse. 615 0$aHistory$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aPhysical sciences$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a001 702 $aSimon$b Richard B. 702 $aBehmand$b Mojgan 702 $aBurke$b Thomas 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788093903321 996 $aTeaching big history$93857944 997 $aUNINA
