NYC Teachers Gather for ALBA Workshop
One of ALBA’s previous NYC teacher institutes.
More than 30 New York City teachers and others joined ALBA’s annual, full-day teaching workshop on November 4. Titled “The United States and World Fascism: Human Rights from the Spanish Civil War to Nuremberg and Beyond,” the workshop guided participants through ten modules—with primary texts, videos, and lesson plans—that seek to recast the narrative of US history by focusing on the antifascist organizing that occurred in response to the invasion of Ethiopia and the 1936 military coup in Spain, and looking at human rights activism and US foreign policy through the lens of US veterans of the Spanish Civil War. ALBA’s rich trove of teaching materials, including curated primary source materials and ready-made lesson plans for History/Social Studies, English Language Arts, and Spanish, can be found here.
