What do you observe? What do you feel this means? The LOC team is guiding teachers through the practicing visual source strategy to help embed deeper thinking in the classroom. Amazing collaboration of ideas. @glennwiebe.bsky.social @essdack.bsky.social @nhtoymc.bsky.social

This beautiful eulogy, written by President Ford and delivered by his son, is the very embodiment of what political relationships can become when humanity is put above all. 🍎🗺️ #historyteacher youtu.be/M2j3BQmLZ70
