In this talk, Josh Torres Wedding discusses the rationale behind incorporating recent history, including history from the past 50 years as well as contemporary issues, into an already overcrowded curriculum. A few of the best practices for incorporating really current events include: 1) teach students to be trauma-informed and empathetic; 2) allow students to process these events collectively; and 3) incorporate historical thinking skills.
