Description

REGISTRATION CLOSES February 28.

This workshop will equip teachers to tackle the complexities of overlapping social positions and identities by taking a broader, global and historical look beyond our present day, US context. Teachers will be prepared to address issues of social justice and equality by examining, for example, dynamics of gender and sexuality across a variety of religious contexts or comparative histories of race and class. The pedagogical focus for this session will be the Structured Academic Controversy (SAC). Teachers will develop expertise on leading difficult conversations with primary sources. The SAC is an effective discussion tool for elementary, secondary, and college-level teaching.

Through this course, participants will:

  • Deepen their content knowledge of significant historical issues in different national, regional and global contexts. 
  • Learn to complicate prevalent historical narratives by including marginalized perspectives and experiences in curriculum development and classroom instruction.
  • Learn research-based strategies to engage students in authentic historical analysis.
  • Learn to integrate primary historical sources, structured academic discussion and assessment of student thinking in their classrooms.
