Creating and Teaching Real World History is a companion project to the Center for Inspired Teaching 'Real World History' Oral History Project. This project includes interviews with Cosby Hunt, creator of the Real World History program, Caitlin Wolf, co-teacher of Real World History from 2015-2017, and Ms. Edith Crutchfield, a long-time D.C. resident who moved to Washington, D.C., from Culpeper, Virginia, in 1953. Ms. Crutchfield first became involved with Real World History when she collaborated on an oral history project with a student in the fall of 2018. Ms. Edith’s interview from Real World History can be found in the Center for Inspired Teaching 'Real World History' Oral History Project.

Over the course of several interviews, Mr. Hunt discusses his upbringing in Washington, his career as a high school history teacher, and the development of the Real World History program; Ms. Wolf discusses her upbringing and education in New England, how she came to work for Center for Inspired Teaching in May of 2015, and the two years she spent co-teaching Real World History with Mr. Hunt; Ms. Edith discusses her upbringing in Culpeper, her move to Washington in 1953, and her life and career in the District.
