Folger Teaching Live: Upcoming Professional Development

What if we stepped back as teachers and let students write their own essential questions for this text set? What if we set up a zone of discovery where students made their own insights into what these texts have to say to each other and to our world today? Join Folger Education and the Smithsonian American Art Museum for this April PD. Registration coming soon!

Join us on Thursday, April 15, 2021 at 8PM ET for what is sure to be a lively lecture. What if we teach Macbeth without ambition? What if we push back against the Shakespearean cliché in an effort to make more room for our voices and the voices of our students? How might we clear some space to see this old, familiar text in new, and newly useful ways?

Registration coming soon! Are you thinking about teaching, Poet X, Elizabeth Acevedo’s emotionally piercing story about an Afro-Latina heroine? Join FolgerED for the simple instructions you need to get students doing rigorous literary interpretation and evaluation–all without you!
