Abby Reisman, Ph.D.
Abby Reisman, PhD., is an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania who focuses
on historical thinking and adolescent literacy. Her most recent inquiries center on teacher
preparation around high-leverage
practices, such as text-based
discussion, and the design and
interpretation of Common Core aligned history assessments. With Brad Fogo, she developed
the Reading Like a Historian curriculum (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWz08mVUIt8), a
document-based
curriculum that engages students in historical inquiry. She works with districts
across the country on helping teachers implement the Reading Like a Historian approach.
