Facing History and Ourselves established the Denver/Rocky Mountain
States Regional office in 2006 following six years of work by
consultants to introduce Facing History to teachers throughout the
Rocky Mountain Region. To date, over 700 educators have participated
in Facing History's professional development programs. Through this
network of educators, Facing History reaches over 14,000 students a
year in the Rocky Mountain region.
Denver Stories
- The film Defiance, directed and produced by Edward Zwick, is based on the extraordinary true story of three Jewish brothers living in Nazi occupied Eastern Europe during World War II. In 1941, the Bielski brothers, played by Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber and Joshua Bell, flee to the surrounding woods to escape the ensuing massacre.
- Denver, CO - This fall students in Jennifer Derosby's class at P.S. 1. Charter School in Denver are looking at recent history to learn about civic responsibility. With Facing History resources and methodology as the lens, the students are considering what happened to a community in crisis-New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Participating Schools
Facing History is incorporated
into the curriculum in a variety of ways. It is taught in middle
schools and in high schools; as an entire course, or infused into
existing courses; as an elective, or as part of the core curriculum; in
the social studies, in language arts, or as an interdisciplinary
course. Facing History program associates work with teachers to help
them use these materials in the most appropriate ways.
