CHANGE ANALYSIS SUPPORTS STUDENT ACTION AND THE STUDY OF HISTORY
Empowering students to have agency in their world requires introducing and reinforcing the skills of social analysis and change-making. Beyond broad discussions of key concepts, students need specific strategies and scaffolds to learn and apply various analytical lenses. These strategies include the broad development of identity, research and clarification of goals, analysis of structures and systems of power, the role of stakeholders, and the strategies by which change is realized.
Each category includes:
- An overview along with multiple strategies by which students can learn and apply these analytical lenses.
- Instructions and examples that demonstrate how these can be applied both to the development and execution of a civic action project and, central to the IAC model, how it can be applied to course content.
