We have a civics webinar with Diana Hess on June 11th so we could share out that recording alongside our related resources like fostering civil discourse, contracting, back to school toolkit, etc. and plug these strategies as important for back to school and lead up to the election -- Erica

Highlight Fostering Civil Discourse and other tools for discussing difficult topics in a polarized time, while honoring one another's humanity

Whether it's authors, historical upstanders, or educators as mentioned in another post we could create a series.

In line with civic season, we could do a piece about what civic participation can look like in a range of ways (i.e. voting, staying informed, sharing your perspectives with others, community organizing) and showcases examples of young upstanders from our various resources (like From Reflection to Action) to highlight the power of youth agency and voice and how young people often lead the way --Erica

In the past we have done historical timeline content for things like this - I don't believe we have ever created one for this commemoration. The complexity surrounding the amendment vs the VRA decades later feels like it could lend itself to something like this. Imagining as content for social. I think in general there's room to improve this kind of content from a brand/design perspective.

This could be ELA or Social Studies specific, or more general. Summer book recommendation list geared toward a teacher audience, with a focus on books that reflect FH values and goals

An updated lesson on Paragraph 175 should be published as soon as tomorrow. Paragraph 175 was a German law that criminalized same-sex relationships between men from the 1870s-1960s, but the scope of the punishment was particularly intense and horrific during the Holocaust. I could write something in mid-June about what it means to remember and honor stories that have been less present in the histories that we know and share. (Ambria)

A piece highlighting the experiences, needs, and contributions of LGBTQ+ teachers in the classroom, potentially including ways allies can be supportive of their LGBTQIA+ colleagues.

Do we have any resources -- or can we create something that points to them externally -- that we feel truly make teachers' lives easier and support their work, their health and sanity? I'd love to be able to put something out that is more than a high five for teacher appreciation. (Nicole)

As a connection to Jewish American Heritage Month, we would love to feature two recent lessons created in partnership with the Jewish Education Project about forging minority identities in a majority society. Both lessons challenge the American mainstream stereotype of Jewish identity as white and Ashke-normative.

This two-day lesson introduces students to the richness and complexity of Jewish identity.

Antisemitism

Culture & Identity

Equity & Inclusion

The resources I'm getting from my colleagues through Facing History have been just invaluable.

Highlight history museums in a variety of regions that do a great job of educating people about history in creative and ethical ways. Could publish around International Museum Day and be a good fit for the lead-up to summer, when teachers might have more time to explore museums.

We have content (video and images) featuring Khamilla Johnson, an upstander in Memphis who, with her student leadership group, helped get a historical marker erected to honor Ell Person's legacy. It's been used before, and maybe we can think of a different way to edit, but is a great way to connect these kinds of histories with student action.

Still thinking of content we have already made, and we do have a Brown v Board animation. Perhaps it could use a refresh or update if we do want to commemorate/raise up this history.

We hope to have the civics landing page of the website updated by end of May with framing from our new approach to civic education. I can also write an ITW post about our new exciting approach :) -- Erica

If I remember correctly, this law, or others similar to it, had an impact on how the Residential Schools in Canada. The laws in Canada were modeled off the ones in the US. I wonder if this can be linked to resources we already have? Opportunity to collaborate and learn from colleagues in Canada?

So many different ways of thinking about museums that could be interesting (not sure if International Museum Day has a theme or not), but could relate to:

a) museums as spaces of learning

b) purpose of museums

c) behind the scenes at museums - archives and collections can be cool

d) some of the ethics with museums -- relates to the short form museum activity that has been brought up in current events. Lot of NAGPRA work going on and questions of looted/stolen art.

The Eval team has some great positive statistics about how highly teachers rate Facing HIstory PD even when it's "mandated" by their schools. This could be a good piece aimed at school & district leaders about how our PD resonates with educators even when they are skeptical of the potential value/take aways.

I've been thinking alot about what it means to celebrate partial victories. Scenarios in which the battle is won, but the war wages on. The Little Rock 9 and desegregation for example. I wonder about a small article/blog entry on the importance of acknowledging partial victories as we continue to struggle for full freedom, inclusion, and justice in many scenarios. This could tie into: Nelson Mandela's election and Brown v. Board for example. But could also relate to the anniversaries of exclusion and injustice (Chinese exclusion, Indian Removal, Tulsa Massacre, etc.) that we see in the month of May, and the ways that we are still fighting those battles today.
