Young people are asking school districts for help in preparing them to understand and address inequities in our society. Many teachers would like to explore these issues, but lack the content and pedagogical tools to do this work. The “Teaching Hidden Histories” program has combined scholars' expertise in the history of traditionally marginalized communities, pedagogy experts, and local Essex County, MA sources to provide educators with the resources to start these discussions. In this session, we will hear from students, share program resources, and provide a blueprint to do this work in other regions of the state, to empower educators to address gaps in the curriculum and engage with the issues their students want to learn about.
Audience: Teachers and Administrators
Date and Time: Wednesday, January 5, 2022 from 4pm - 5pm
