The Power of Perspective: Transforming Social Studies Through Untold Narratives

This video introduces the award-winning U.S. History on PBS LearningMedia–resources that not only bring America’s past to life but also strengthen students’ understanding of civic knowledge, engagement, and responsibility- through the lens of two teachers. This collection combines essential historical content with compelling, often overlooked stories and resources that help students grasp both the nation’s history and the principles that shape its democracy.

GBH Education shares our development process, grounded in rigorous historical scholarship and informed by subject matter experts, educators, and student advisors. The resulting resources are accurate, trustworthy, and practical–classroom-ready tools that adapt easily to diverse teaching contexts. The teachers then give examples of these unique resources, so you can see how they integrate into existing curricula, and learn why educators nationwide rely on PBS LearningMedia to enrich their history and civics teaching.
