EDUCATOR RESOURCES

​The study of history connects us to our past, enables us to assess the present, and guides us forward; it provides students with the framework and tools to understand the world, examine the role each person plays, and decide how they want to have an impact. At ESJF, we incorporate lessons learned from history into dignity-affirming and critical-thinking based education to address sidelined issues.
