The Teaching History Her Way Podcast
Let's talk a little hidden history, a little pedagogy, and a lot of ways we can improve our teaching and mindset so that our history and social studies classrooms tell a more complete, diverse human story. Join me as I talk history and pedagogy with brilliant teachers from around the country to help make our classrooms more culturally responsive spaces.Let's be friends!

The Teaching History Her Way Podcast
Airlifted, Uplifted: Operation Babylift, Transracial Adoptees, and the Classroom
In this deeply personal and powerful episode of Teaching History Her Way, I sit down with my friend and colleague, Amy Mai Tierney, to discuss her experience as one of the many children brought to the United States through Operation Babylift at the end of the Vietnam War. Amy Mai shares her story of growing up as a transracial adoptee, how she uses history to understand her identity, and the questions that still remain. We explore why it’s essential for history teachers—and all educators—to acknowledge and understand the unique experiences of transracial adoptees in their classrooms. You won't want to miss this conversation full of insight, emotion, and inspiration.
Let's be friends and continue the conversation!
