Join Facing History and Ourselves for a two-part Facing History @Home series, as we explore the unique role parents and other caregivers are playing for children in these challenging times. Using a variety of resources from history and literature, participants will explore themes focused on fostering resilience and growth as we continue to nurture the young upstanders in our lives.

Part one of the series, on Wednesday, April 14, will feature Richard Weissbourd, Senior Lecturer on Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Dr. Weissbourd will share lessons from his work focusing on vulnerability and resilience in childhood, the achievement gap, moral development, and effective schools and services for children.
