4th Grade Social Studies and Reading Teacher
Washington, D.C.

Join elementary educator Sarah Buscher as she shares some of the methods she uses in social studies and reading to teach the history of racism in the United States by repositioning the European American narrative in history and allowing students to explore additional perspectives, examine racism in our country, and cultivate the global competence our young citizens need.
