Teaching with Place

Sarah Jencks of Ford's Theatre and Talia Mosconi of Tudor Place Historic House discuss designing multilayered programs for teaching educators how to use places as primary sources. A number of DC historical sites have formed partnerships to provide educators with wide-ranging orientations to the city's history. Jencks and Mosconi warn against the dangers of running teachers through too many historical sites too quickly, without giving teachers time to process or providing them with context.
