Description

Webinar - Religion, Social Studies and You - Putting it Into Practice: Classroom Case Studies and Lesson Plans About Religious Diversity
Tuesday, April 14
7:00 pm EST / 4:00 pm PST

This is the last of a four-part webinar series that will focus on ways to incorporate inclusive pedagogical approaches for addressing different faith traditions and cultures in the classroom consistent with the First Amendment. Based on Tanenbaum's Seven Principles of Inclusive Education and Face to Faith's Essentials of Dialogue, these webinars help teachers navigate the often difficult terrain of teaching accurately and sensitively about diverse religions and cultures. While each of the four webinars work cohesively, they also are beneficial as individual sessions.

In this webinar session, we will help educators bring what they've learned back to their schools. We will provide you with a variety of practical guidelines, as well as examples across grade levels of Common Core-aligned lesson plans, that allow for respectful exploration of religious and cultural differences.

Participants will also learn how to:

• Analyze textbooks to determine whether diverse religious groups are portrayed fully and accurately.
• Respond confidently to student inquiries and challenging classroom situations related to religion; and
• Broaden the teaching of religious events in U.S. history to include the richness and complexities of all traditions.

Presenter: Mark Fowler, Tanenbaum*.
