Schools Where We Belong

Are you looking to improve student achievement by creating a school community that centers equity, social emotional learning, & civic education?

Our new whole-school partnership model for middle and high schools, Schools Where We Belong, is designed to help you make your vision a reality.

What Partnership Looks Like

We can help you create transformational, systemic change in your school’s approach to teaching, learning, and working together.

This flexible two-year partnership includes:

• Leadership development and support for continuous improvement
• Two all-faculty learning experiences
• Professional learning & coaching for ELA and Social Studies teachers
• High-quality instructional materials for a range of courses and subject areas

Your School + Facing History = Meaningful Transformation

Our approach, backed by decades of evidence, integrates student-centered teaching practices throughout school culture and curriculum.

When you engage with Facing History through our Schools Where We Belong model we will work with you to:

• Implement our unique school culture survey to gain understanding of your school’s needs and challenges.
• Analyze your survey results and outline the roadmap for support and professional learning for all faculty.
• Share full access to our robust online training library and all of our digital teaching resources.
• Facilitate one all-faculty professional learning experience and identify ideal professional development pathways for Social Studies and ELA educators, including group seminars and a series of one-hour competency-based coaching sessions.

Other ways to engage with us

In addition to Schools Where We Belong we offer a number of specialized professional learning packages for whole-schools and districts. All of our offerings combine classroom materials with aligned content-based professional learning focused on Facing History’s pedagogy and core case studies. Offerings are available in-person, online, or in blended format.
