Overview

About This Collection

Each curriculum outline below provides middle school educators with a roadmap for teaching an 18-week study, including links to all necessary activities, materials, and assessments. They are flexible and can be used in shorter increments than 18-weeks. In each curriculum, students explore questions of identity, membership and belonging, choices, and civic participation through different historical case studies and literature selections. Students culminate their study with a final project that challenges them to create plans for how they can work with others and on their own to be upstanders in their school and local communities.

Facing History & Ourselves is designed for educators who want to help students explore identity, think critically, grow emotionally, act ethically, and participate in civic life. It’s hard work, so we’ve developed some go-to professional learning opportunities to help you along the way.

Most teachers are willing to tackle the difficult topics, but we need the tools.
