Teaching Honest History Through Critical Inquiry
Critical inquiry can help students reckon with the legacy of racism in the United States, especially when discussing the history of American enslavement. Learn how to center equity and justice in your social studies classroom by using critical reading and questioning strategies to amplify the perspectives of people from minoritized groups. In this session, work with Learning for Justice to explore the honest history of American enslavement.
If you can’t make it to our PD sessions this week, the sessions will be available to watch on demand through the conference platform until April 30, 2022.
