Plans to revamp graduation requirements and possibly eliminate some standardized exams have social studies teachers worried. Federal law requires high school testing in English, math, and science, but there is no mandate for history. That means social studies could be the first to go. Our guests:
- Gloria Sesso, administrator, Patchogue-Medford School District, and co-president, Long Island Council for the Social Studies
- Alan Singer, Ph.D., professor of teaching, learning and technology, Hofstra University
- Kenneth Davis, author of educational history and nonfiction books for children and young adults, including the Don't Know Much About series
- Roger Tilles, Long Island representative, New York State Board of Regents
