The Difficult Subjects: K-12 Teaching Institute brings together elementary, middle and high school teachers from Central Ohio for an exploration of multidisciplinary approaches to understanding and teaching a difficult subject in America’s past and present.
'Difficult subjects' are those that center on the experiences of historically-marginalized groups in America — experiences that have had a profound effect on the lives of marginalized people, not only over the course of individual lifetimes but across multiple generations. These experiences have also significantly shaped the contours and trajectory of American society as a whole. To teach the American experience accurately and effectively, difficult subjects have to be unpacked and explored.
