About the event

Teaching Hard Histories through Creative Expression Educator PD
Calling all teachers and educators! 📢

Introducing hard histories, or topics that come with complex stories and evoke strong emotions, can be daunting. Incorporating art into the classroom can feel like further complicating the already challenging practice of introducing hard histories. Providing examples of creative expression representing troubling periods of our nation’s past can catalyze important classroom conversations about histories that need to be preserved and stories that must be shared. Join Cori Claycomb, Curator of Art and History Education, as we discuss the role that art can play in the history classroom and how it can help develop and foster empathy, cultural awareness, and critical thinking in our students. CPDUs are available.
