Today’s episode is all about September 11th. We specifically focus on age-appropriate ways to facilitate discussion in our classrooms and share some of our favorite resources to use in the classroom to commemorate this day. To help me with this topic, I sat down with Anna Warriner, Teacher Center Coordinator from South Central Service Cooperative, and Jessica Brown, former high school history teacher and current Psychology instructor at Southark.
