We are teachers too. We understand the value of an advocate who supports you at every step. Watch and learn about the unique ways we partner with teachers.
Facing History's Approach
Facing History’s unique approach to pedagogy, classroom resources, professional development, coaching, and support equips teachers with the tools and strategies they need to help students become thoughtful, responsible citizens.
Tailored Programs
The Facing History model is flexible and responsive, meeting the needs of individual teachers, whole schools, and entire districts through our regional offices, and online campus. In addition to our general program activities, we also support specific settings and initiatives.
Our approach to curriculum development and sequencing, whole-staff professional development, and school-wide programming has the deepest impact on school climate and students’ social-emotional learning.
This unique program expands students’ exploration of their Jewish identity, deepens their understanding of modern Jewish history, and honors the principles of social justice and repairing the world.
We work with independent and parochial schools to help them realize their mission and provide a framework for school-wide programming, whole-staff engagement, and curriculum planning.
Addressing the Needs of Urban Education
Facing History is committed to teachers and students in underserved urban areas, which represent over 60% of our work in schools. By providing content and pedagogy that increases teacher effectiveness and stimulates students to learn at the highest level, Facing History works to bridge the opportunity gap that impedes success for young people in under-resourced communities.
Innovative Schools Network
Facing History’s Innovative Schools Network is a connected group of more than 80 schools that embrace Facing History's core themes as foundational to their mission. These schools seek to engage students with rigorous interdisciplinary content and methodology that promotes academic skills as well as empathy and ethical awareness.
Teacher-Tested, Backed by Research
Backed by over 140 research studies, our approach is teacher-tested, meets state standards, and is responsive to the changing educational landscape.
