About This Webinar

Join Listenwise and Share My Lesson for a webinar on making history relevant with current events.

Explore new ways to teach history within the context of current events. The challenge for any teacher is to figure out ways to make the past relevant to our experiences today. This is not easy. However, public radio provides a lot of opportunities for teachers to bring current events and new research into classes. Listening to stories helps connect students to specific moments in time in an authentic way. We’ll share some approaches to teaching history through current events, and provide resources and strategies teachers can use in their classrooms right away.
