Rob and Eric visit with Craig Miller and discuss how to approach teaching World History. Craig is a professor and Department Head of History and Political Science at Pennsylvania College of Technology. He also serves as the Chief Reader for the AP World History: Modern exam. Craig reassures teachers that they cannot be expected to know everything about World History and that it is okay and even recommended to rely upon experts when designing lessons. He urges teachers to find those places where history intersects with what is occurring in their students' world. He also suggests emphasizing historical thinking skills in class so that students develop the ability to explore World History for themselves.
