Fort Worth Educators
TEXAS
This team of educators designed a unit of lessons that engaged learners in exploring individuals who challenged the historical narrative. The unit supports 6th-8th grade learners in after-school programs by engaging them in evaluating multiple perspectives, identifying bias and points of view, and empowering them to communicate their understanding of historical events and people.
