    Empathy, of course, is key in teaching slavery. How do we cultivate empathy and avoid narcissism? https://t.co/WjzK9jf7Sa #sschat

  • ushistorysage Dec 12 @ 7:56 PM EST

    • danieltmares Dec 12 @ 7:52 PM EST
      A6: Some Ts I know want out of the box solutions to implement. Offer more outreach to school, local history (if possible) can help #sschat
  • MrAllardSS Dec 12 @ 7:57 PM EST
    A6 Organizing resources by theme, type, date, place etc. Letting Ts know what is available #sschat
  • GWBooks Dec 12 @ 7:57 PM EST
    museums/historic sites often struggle with how to let teachers know what is available. Any ideas? #sschat

    A8 Sometimes easier to get a museum educator to a school than a school to a museum. #sschat

    Holy cow! The #sschat time is coming to a close! This might have been the quickest hour of the week!
  • WhatWouldAbeDo Dec 12 @ 7:58 PM EST
    Focus on individual stories. Makes it more personal than the usual macrocosm approach, which tends to make it unknowable/unreal. #sschat
    • GWBooks Dec 12 @ 7:51 PM EST
      Q6: What can museums and historic sites do to help you teach slavery more effectively? #sschat
  • MrAllardSS Dec 12 @ 7:58 PM EST
    Involve more teachers! Summer work to design lessons around resources, structure PD days, etc #sschat
