Back-to-School Professional Development for Teachers

Facing History & Ourselves is offering teachers a range of professional development opportunities to prepare for the upcoming school year. These educational experiences will allow teachers to acquire fresh teaching strategies, delve into subjects from different perspectives, and obtain teaching resources that align with our distinctive approach. These opportunities will also aid educators in establishing a just and student-focused learning atmosphere, while fostering a sense of community in their classrooms.
