Teaching Hope Instead of Critical Race Theory in Social Studies

WILL:

The News: Academic theories underlie the important classes that our children learn in every day at school. But these theories are more than an academic exercise – they shape the lens that students view the world. This is especially true in social studies.

WILL is proud to partner with Scott Niederjohn and Mark Schug, professors who have spent their careers crafting social studies curriculum and training teachers, to provide a roadmap for educators and parents looking to understand how academic theories impact student learning of social studies.

The Quotes: WILL Director of Education Policy­­, Libby Sobic, said, “We encourage Wisconsin school districts to use this report as a guide. Students deserve the right resources and skills to analyze social studies-based subjects, for their personal growth and individual liberties.”
