Social Studies Uncut, in Partnership with Digital Promise
In partnership with Digital Promise, we brought together diverse, future-forward social studies content providers that embody cultural relevance and reflect students’ histories and experiences to showcase their offerings to districts and educators across the country. Participants heard from students about the need for cultural inclusivity in the classroom. Ashley Naranjo, Education and Outreach Strategist, Smithsonian Institution and Tommy Chang, CEO, New Teacher Center discussed the value of fostering appreciation for diversity in identities, cultures, and perspectives through various resources. Educators were able to hear from the following solution providers about the resources being offered for students and/or teachers:
Design for Change USA
Great First Eight
The Morgan Project
Reconstruction
Teaching for Change
True Fiktion
Each solution provider received interest to learn more about partnering to provide solutions for schools.
