Name
Inclusive Pathways for Exploring History and Art
Description
How can we help learners connect with history to understand how it has shaped our present? Explore the exhibition "Fighters for Freedom: William H. Johnson Picturing Justice" and consider the pursuit of freedom as an ongoing struggle in American history. Discover student-centered approaches for linking historical movements to contemporary issues. Experience a range of inclusive entry points into the exhibit, including videos, music, interactive kiosks, student responses, reflection prompts, children’s books, and touch tables. Reflect on the transferability of these approaches to your classroom and the value of multiple learning modalities.
