“It completely changed the lens through which I teach.”
Start with Yourself
Facing History classrooms are built on a foundation of supportive relationships between educators and their students and within the classroom community as a whole.
Building the trust needed to establish a successful learning community begins with an educator’s own curiosity and self-reflection. Becoming aware of one’s beliefs, values, biases, politics, and emotional responses, empowers educators to be thoughtful about how these forces and factors influence their interactions with and expectations of their students.
