"Traces of the Trade": Teaching Controversial Issues
|
|
| Katrina Browne |
The Kuyers Institute for Christian Teaching and Learning invites teachers to participate in a two-day workshop focused on the history of slavery in the United States. Led by Katrina Browne (Traces of the Trade), the workshop will explore how to effectively deal with controversial and sensitive historical topics in the classroom. Participants will not only engage in new learning about the history of slavery as it affected the northern United States, but will also gain understanding of how to relate a historical topic such as this to character education outcomes, building leadership and civic engagement skills, emotional intelligence, and racial identity formation for all students.
The workshop will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 28–29, 2010, at Calvin College. A $60 participation fee includes a break and lunch both days, as well as copies of materials. For an additional $30, participants will receive 1.4 SB-CEUs.
Because lunch is provided, registration for the workshop is required in advance: campus catering requires a final participant count no later than one week before the workshop. To register, please fill out and submit this form (PDF), which must be received with payment by Sept. 21, 2010. |
