Join us for a conversation with educators who have been implementing The 1619 Project in their classrooms and school districts. The discussion will be led by Nikita Stewart, contributor to The 1619 Project and journalist for The New York Times, and the Pulitzer Center education team.
Teachers and school district leaders from across the country who have shared The 1619 Project with the students and teachers they support will discuss how they have implemented the project, reception in their school communities, and lessons learned.
The Pulitzer Center will also share information about applying to the newly launched 1619 Project Education Network. Those selected for the network will join a cohort of 40 educators, administrators, curriculum supervisors, and content specialists supporting K–12 schools and incarcerated populations who will receive grants of $5,000, professional development, and access to a supportive community while they develop, implement, and evaluate standards-aligned curricula that engage students in The 1619 Project and related journalism and historical sources. Applications will be open February 1–March 15.
