Highlights
- Facing History has offered professional development to teachers in the United Kingdom since 2002.
- Through a generous grant from the The Edmond J. Safra Philanthropic Foundation, London has been the site of our international seminar for the past three years. To date, 46 educators from the UK and 49 educators around the world have gathered together in London to explore Facing History’s content and teaching strategies.
- With funding from Deutsche Bank, Facing History has published Identity and Belonging in a Changing Great Britain—a resource centered on understanding identity, membership, citizenship, and belonging in the United Kingdom.
- One example of a school with which Facing History is strengthening a partnership is Skinner Company School for Girls and Notre Dame Academy. Facing History is working with teachers to integrate our content and teaching strategies across the curriculum and throughout school culture. This multifaceted approach to Facing History increases the impact on students and promotes a respectful, rigorous, and engaging school environment. In this way, student knowledge and reasoning are reinforced, and schools benefit from the practice of respect and responsibility in their hallways and dining halls.
