Cultural institutions work with sensitive or difficult topics on a regular basis. When approaching such topics, educators must consider both the needs of students and adults, and how those needs might differ. Join Education Specialists from the National September 11 Memorial Museum for a discussion focused on this delicate balance. Presenters will share the challenges faced when addressing the needs of students, for whom 9/11 is history, and adults, for whom 9/11 is a memory, and share strategies for how to address this tension when teaching sensitive material with diverse audiences.
