Join the team at Facing History & Ourselves and teacher leaders for a discussion about implementing Facing History case studies at an International Baccalaureate (IB) school.

The IB program wants students to become global citizens who are striving to impact the world in a positive way -- which works hand-in-hand with the pedagogy and resources from Facing History. In this after school workshop, we'll dig into MYP unit planners together and discuss how Facing History resources give teachers a common language and framework that intersect with IB related and key concepts. We’ll focus on student-driven inquiry and how to give students the space to grapple with complex social and global issues.

This event will occur in-person at Erikson Institute.
