Schooled: The Podcast

Episode 10: In this episode we consider the ways in which history influences our present lives — both our national history but also our own personal histories. We hear from Wayde Grinstead, senior program associate for Facing History and Ourselves, an organization dedicated to to helping students relate historical acts of racism and intolerance to their own lives in order to promote a greater understanding of the roles and responsibilities of democratic citizenship. We’ll also hear from writer and veteran teacher Tamara Jaffe Notier who shares a story of a conflict in her own classroom that forces her to consider her students’ and her own complicated histories.
