Inclusion, Revision, and Difficult History

MCSS Conference

DETAILS

How have your approaches to core topics in the classroom changed? Curriculum from the Choices Program at Brown University and many others have undergone thoughtful revisions. Join us at the Massachusetts Council for the Social Studies conference where we will share the Choices Program’s process of reviewing and revising curriculum to reflect advances in the teaching of history. Focusing on equity and inclusion, we will explore the reasoning for retiring some units and adding others, and approaches to “hard history.” The session will include participant discussion.
