Introduction to Creating and Using Historic Decisions Issue Guides

Tuesday, June 14, 2022

2:00 pm – 3:00 pm ET Panel Discussion via Zoom

3:00 p.m. – 3:30 pm ET Networking among participants

Join museum and humanities educators from across the country for an online introduction to creating issue guides for deliberating about historic decisions. Looking at history from a deliberative perspective expands our sense of who can be a political actor and where political actions can occur. Deliberative forums where participants weigh the benefits and drawbacks of various approaches to a past problem offer new insights into history and to the role of citizens. Historic decision issue guides are often used by teachers with middle and high school students.

This webinar is hosted by the National Issues Forums Institute and based on what has been learned from cooperative research projects with the Kettering Foundation and the panelists over the past seven years.
