Orientación para padres
The study of world history deals with some sensitive topics in history such as war, slavery, racism, religion and genocide.
Religion will only be discussed in a historical context. Learners will be introduced to multiple perspectives using peer-reviewed and scholarly sources. Learners will be encouraged to engage in critical and reflective thinking on matters pertaining to the history of ancient conflicts, security issues, religion and economics. Discussion posts will be moderated, encouraged and closely monitored by the teacher from an unbiased and secular standpoint.
When applicable, viewpoints from marginalized groups will be explored.
I take great care to present the content in an age appropriate manner.
