Shifting Landscapes: Teaching uncomfortable truths in the classroom

Tonight's Shifting Landscapes program will feature history teachers from Ludington's High School and Middle School. Amber Nasson and Todd Schipper will share their techniques for teaching about sensitive topics in the classroom. People naturally shy away from talking about uncomfortable subjects. But talking about the tough stuff makes children feel safer. These topics are vital to deepen students’ understanding of our world. Children deserve to learn about difficult subjects from knowledgeable, compassionate adults who will keep them safe. This is a live/virtual hybrid meeting and will begin at 7pm tonight on Zoom and at LACA in downtown Ludington. Join on Zoom at mcdl.pub/sl-zoom. Tonight's program will conclude the third topic in the Shifting Landscapes program. Upcoming topics include Race/Racism (Feb 7, 14, 21), Truth in Politics (Mar 7, 14, 21), and Economics (Apr 4, 11, 18). View previous presentations on The 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory at mcdl.pub/CRT and mcdl.pub/1619.
