Description

“Teaching the Middle Ages to All Ages” will be a panel on best practices, primarily focused on the secondary and post-secondary classroom, for successfully incorporating medieval literature and culture content into a variety of settings and courses. This session will provide a forum for sharing collaborative approaches and support for teachers without broad institutional support for the pre-modern curriculum, and will also offer ideas for text selection, curricular articulation, and secondary sources helpful to teaching primary texts to learners both in and outside the academy.
