CONGRESS CANCELED Making the Medieval Matter: Teaching the Middle Ages across K-16 (A Roundtable)

Medieval Institute, Western Michigan University

Description

This roundtable brings together educators from across the K-16 spectrum with experience in college-level instruction and private and public schools. We will discuss how we make medieval topics "matter" to the students, and why students focus on some themes but avoid (or misunderstand) others. We will also consider strategies within (and outside) the classroom and how we need to appeal to students, families, and administrators in promoting medieval studies across curricula and disciplines.
