Unsettling Thanksgiving in Your Curriculum Webinar

Educator Programs

What is Thanksgiving? How did it evolve into the holiday we observe today?

Join us as we dig into primary sources, multiple perspectives and regional resources to co-construct a fuller understanding of the myths and truths of the Thanksgiving story.

Together we will unsettle what we know, don’t know, and how we teach about Thanksgiving. Expect to leave this webinar-workshop with tools, resources and activities you can adapt for your classroom that push us all beyond roast turkey, pumpkin pie, pilgrims and friendly Indians. There is something for every teacher in this webinar, although upper elementary and middle level educators may find the content most appropriate for their practice.

Co-conspirators:

  • Judy Dow, Executive Director of Gedakina
  • Aimee Arandia Østensen, Professional Learning Facilitator, Shelburne Farms
  • Emily Hoyler, Managing Director, UVM Tarrant Institute for Innovative Education
  • Jeanie Phillips, Professional Development Coordinator, UVM Tarrant Institute for Innovative Education

The webinar is offered in partnership with Gedakina, UVM Tarrant Institute for Innovative Education, and Shelburne Farms.
