Announcing LFJ’s Newest Publication

Advocating for Teaching Honest History:
What Educators Can Do
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]

“Learning honest history—history that is accurate, comprehensive and inclusive of perspectives beyond traditional, dominant narratives—helps students to understand the forces that shape our world and to make connections between the past and the present. In today’s political environment, with numerous states censoring teaching accurate history and critical learning about race and racism as well as gender and identity, fighting for young people’s rights to research-based practices and inclusive education is essential.”

Learning for Justice’s newest resource guide, Advocating for Teaching Honest History ([link removed]) , offers concrete tools for educators seeking to ensure the right of future generations to an accurate accounting of our nation’s history. This guide supports our newest curriculum framework, Teaching the Civil Rights Movement (see below), by providing guidance for how to approach teaching and advocating for honest history education in the classroom, with families, with colleagues, with school and district leaders, and in the community at large.

** Teaching the Civil Rights Movement
------------------------------------------------------------

LFJ’s new curriculum Teaching the Civil Rights Movement ([link removed]) situates the Civil Rights Movement in a larger narrative of the struggle for equality and civil rights—a struggle that stretches back centuries and remains unfinished today. Organized into four chronological periods, the publication includes essential knowledge within 14 summary objectives, guiding principles to support educators in being intentional in their teaching, and a wealth of resource options.

** Teaching Hard History: American Slavery
------------------------------------------------------------

Most students leave high school without an adequate understanding of the role slavery played in the development of the United States—or how its legacies still influence us today. To help remedy this, LFJ developed Teaching Hard History: American Slavery ([link removed]) , a comprehensive framework for teaching and learning about this critical topic at all grade levels, from kindergarten up to professional development for educators. This curriculum offers numerous resources, including a podcast series and videos.
