[Michlib-l] Shifting Landscapes: Teaching uncomfortable truths in the classroom

[Thomas Trahey]

 Tonight's Shifting Landscapes program will feature history teachers from
Ludington's High School and Middle School. Amber Nasson and Todd Schipper
will share their techniques for teaching about sensitive topics in the
classroom. People naturally shy away from talking about uncomfortable
subjects. But talking about the tough stuff makes children feel safer.
These topics are vital to deepen students’ understanding of our world.
Children deserve to learn about difficult subjects from knowledgeable,
compassionate adults who will keep them safe.

 This is a live/virtual hybrid meeting and will begin at 7pm tonight on
Zoom and at LACA in downtown Ludington. Join on Zoom at mcdl.pub/sl-zoom.

 Tonight's program will conclude the third topic in the Shifting Landscapes
program. Upcoming topics  include Race/Racism (Feb 7, 14, 21), Truth in
Politics (Mar 7, 14, 21), and Economics (Apr 4, 11, 18).

 View previous presentations on The 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory
