Schools are the foundation of just and democratic societies. Fulfilling their civic mission depends on educators’ ability to integrate academics, civic learning, and social-emotional development in classrooms that are inclusive, equitable, and engaging for all students. This spring join Facing History and Ourselves for their new two-day online “Explorations” workshops and learn how Facing History and Ourselves supports educators to do this essential work.

Designed especially for teams, these Explorations will introduce you to Facing History’s programs and approach to SEL, equity, and civic education. Plus, Facing History and Ourselves will share resources to help educational leaders foster more equitable mindsets and learn about effective practices for addressing the impact historic legacies of injustice have on their school communities. Together, we’ll explore how understanding ourselves, understanding students, understanding history, and understanding learning can empower educators as change agents.

Facing History and Ourselves invites schools and districts to gather a design team of 4-6 stakeholders, including school leaders and administrators, classroom teachers, guidance counselors or social workers to participate in the workshop. School leaders may also choose to attend on their own.

After the workshop, a program staff member from Facing History & Ourselves will meet with the school or district teams to explore options for partnership, including professional learning, social studies and English language arts curriculum, and resources to support positive school climate and culture.
