I teach at a culturally responsive school. have taken numerous workshops from iCivics, University of NC's Carolina K12, and Teaching Tolerance addressing these types of issues and how to deal with them.
We will be talking about various violent incidents in the Cold War. Gratuitously violent images will not be shown, but students may see pictures of the aftermath of war. I will handle reactions to these incidents by establishing a space safe. In this space, students are permitted to share their reactions, but they may not be disrespectful to classmates or countries. All comments that are constructive will be discussed. Comments that are racist or inappropriate will be dismissed.
We will refer to Stanford History Education Group resources as well as Gilder Lehrman American History resources.
