Retro Report hosted a professional development event on Tuesday for secondary teachers with the NYC Department of Education. Educators received training on how to use a new resource collection funded by a Teaching With Primary Sources grant from the Library of Congress. They also heard from Retro Report Producer Sarah Weiser in a Q&A and learned about NYC DOE’s Hidden Voices curriculum. Thank you to all of the educators who visited our office on Tuesday! It was great to connect with you.
