This workshop will equip you with the tools to impart lessons of strength, resilience, and community to your students at a time when these lessons are just as relevant as ever.

We will explore pressing challenges as a new school-year looms:

  • Encourage interest in STEM without leaving civics and the humanities behind.
  • Have Better Conversations about important topics amidst a politically charged landscape.
  • Teach with artifacts in a way that encourages thinking but guards against misunderstanding and conspiracy.
  • Empower our students to live up to the tenets of the Oklahoma Standard – service, honor, and kindness – demonstrated in response to the bombing in 1995 and still needed in schools today.
