Virtual Workshop for Educators, Session 1: C3 Framework for Social Studies and Historical Empathy

Explore how learners can use the practice of historical empathy to examine the role and impact of women throughout history. Based on the work of, and facilitated by, Dr. Katherine Perrotta, Assistant Professor of Middle Grades and Secondary Education at Mercer University Tift College of Education, educators will engage in discussions about the C3 Framework for Social Studies Standards, its ties to historical empathy, and its use in the classroom with focus on the example of pathbreaking civil rights activist Elizabeth Jennings. Known as the “Nineteenth-Century Rosa Parks,” Elizabeth Jennings successfully challenged segregation ordinances on New York City streetcars in 1854.

Session 1 explores C3 Framework basics and how the Inquiry Arc supports the promotion of historical empathy.

You do not need to sign up for all three sessions to attend, but you are encouraged to come to all three as you build your historical empathy practice. All sessions are free but advanced registration is required. Those who attend will receive a certificate of completion for each session.
