What will this session cover?
This two-hour live session will explore strategies, activities and best practices for teachings and homeschool parents who want to connect their history lessons to current events (or just teach difficult moments in history.)
How do we set up our learning environment so that students feel comfortable with discomfort?
What topics within the curriculum need to be handled with extra care?
What do we do when students bring their own political views and opinions into our classroom?
How can we intentionally connect historical events to current events and contemporary issues in a way that's productive and respectful?
