If you're a history teacher, you already know all of this, but we need a refresher now and then. As you begin this year's classes, remember, we are delivering to our students a manner of thinking that no other discipline can give them, and if we're fortunate, we'll be able to capture a few hearts along the way.
Whether you teach AP World History, AP U.S. History, AP Euro, or any history at all, this video is for you.
The idea of history bestowing the virtues of humility and empathy I owe to historians Sam Wineburg and John Fea.

I just got hired this week as a high school history teacher. It’s My first year and I’m feeling nervous, but wow this video was beyond an inspiration. Hope I can one day strive to like you! Keep up the great content, glad I’ve found your channel.

What you said about having teachers love history first is so true, I took so world last year and my teacher is absolutely in LOVE with history so it made the class really fun. And now I’m taking Euro with her and I honestly can say I love history too now. She also loved your UA-cam videos so I got her your heimler socks as a thanks for helping study for the ap exam she loved them :)

[@HeimlersHistoryTeachers]

All parts of what you said are amazing!

This is perfection! Thanks for stirring up all the feels today-I report back for duty on Monday and students come on Wednesday! Let’s do this!

[@HeimlersHistoryTeachers]

Heck yes... I'm cheering you on from Atlanta!

I’m in my 30s and now want to pursue a career in being a history teacher. Your video here is very inspirational and why I have an interest in wanting to teach the subject.

Some great thoughts as I prepare for our start in September. Thank you for this!

Thanks so much for inspiration for the new year. Feel we all need it after last year. On a related note, one of my students got a 4 on the APUSH exam this past year, and she said "No offense Mr Pultz, but Heimler's videos really helped me this year, and on the exam." I said "None taken! I am glad that you did so well, no matter who helped you out." So thanks for all you have do!

[@HeimlersHistoryTeachers]

Dang straight. We’re all out there supporting each other’s work!
