The "Disability History" group has become, "Teaching Disability History." The new title accompanies the launch on February 8 of a new bi-monthly interest group discussion of educators and activists working at the local, state, and national levels. 

Topics to discuss will include: state mandates to teach disability history, exemplary disability history standards, effective programs at the state level, National History Day projects on disability history, practicing disability in Culturally Relevant Pedagogy, grass roots campaigns, the future of disability history, and more! 

Join this discussion group and add your ideas. (Click the "Join Group" button above.)
