September 11: Teaching Contemporary History

The goals for the conference, its website and discussion forums were to enable participants (primarily K-12 teachers) to:

Gain awareness of and access to reliable materials about September 11
Learn teaching strategies for addressing complex historical issues and challenging topics
Better appreciate that our understanding of the past differs based on our participation in events, the amount of time that elapses between the present and the recent past, and the issues of our own historical moment
