TeacherTube - Teach the World Chester (song) Among the patriotic anthems sung during the American Revolutionary War, only Yankee Doodle was more popular than William Billings's Chester[citation needed]. Billings wrote the first version of the song for his 1770 songbook The New England Psalm Singer, and made improvements for the version in his The Singing Master's Assistant (1778). It is the latter version that is best known today. Parts labeled "Treble, Counter, Tenor, and Bass" correspond to the modern SATB four-voice choir.

Graduate Programs The program in History Education is concerned with how young people make sense of the past in school and out-of-school settings. The program explores core issues of teaching and learning and, most broadly, engages the very nature of historical consciousness: What does it mean to live in a present suffused by the past? How is history taught and learned in and out of schools? How does history become part of one's resources for building a meaningful identity and life? Taught well, history fosters tolerance for complexity and intolerance for simple answers. New technologies offer a potential answer, but one that has yet to be realized. Much history is learned outside of school. There are no formal prerequisites for admission to our Ph.D. program. The following FAQs were designed to answer the most common questions about the program.
