“…UPF films provide students and teachers the opportunity to visualize and explore multiple perspectives and innovative ways to understand their topics. Effective teaching practices in social studies that integrate documentary films and effective inquiries through a deliberative discourse provides an opportunity to engage in a “grass-roots” or “bottom-up” (Manfra, 2017, p. 132) approach in restructuring social studies that inherently changes the power dynamics of social studies education.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to engage readers with Unity Productions Foundation (UPF) films, which provide a powerful, inspirational digital tool for teachers. The organization's mission is to create documentaries, films and educational materials that contribute to bringing to light compelling stories of Muslim engagement through history and culture. UPF films and educational projects aim to promote peace and understanding to increase cultural pluralism and counter bigotry in our world.Design/methodology/approachTeachers will be able to utilize the resources provided in this paper to harness the power of media in their classrooms. Outlining the process by which teachers can follow the C3 inquiry using the film Prince Among Slaves will prepare teachers to see the alignment of the C3 Framework with their teaching. The “best practice” classroom strategies in structuring deliberations are ones that encourage students to fully participate and emphasize their voice.FindingsThis paper will unpack the practice methods that address the film Prince Among Slaves to be of benefit when sharing narratives through digital film and engage students in critical thinking through the C3 Framework. UPF films are the product of scholarly research and innovative production teams as the films provide the opportunity to visualize and explore multiple perspectives to understand historical content by providing a context for inquiry teaching and learning that is inclusive through deliberative discussions in the classroom.Originality/value The author certifies that this manuscript submission is original work and that all authors were involved in the intellectual elaboration of the manuscript and all parties have been acknowledged.

“…Yet there remains a dearth of research on what ambitious teachers problematize while reflecting on their work (Barton & Avery, 2016). While an outgrowth of work published by history teacher-researchers has emerged in the last fifteen years (Kohlmeier, 2005; Manfra, 2009; Martell, 2013b, 2015; Martell & Hashimoto-Martell, 2012; Martell & Sequenzia, 2016; McCormick, 2008; VanSledright, 2002a, 2002b; Virgin, 2014), the conditions under which these history teachers are reflecting require time and space not normally privileged to in-service history teachers (Manfra, 2017). The existing research, therefore, does not represent the more short-term, day-to-day reflections typical of practicing history teachers.…”

This multiple-case study sought to understand what ambitious history teachers focus their reflections on throughout a unit of study. Through video-stimulated recall methodology, reflective interviews were conducted with participants in four different schools within the same high-poverty public school district. The study built upon findings from research on ambitious teachers and found that teachers fixated on a range of problems while reflecting, among them: students” historical thinking, cultural relevant pedagogy, and their framing of history through essential questions. That the teachers focused on these issues could be linked to their values and broader educational aims.
