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.
