Meet the Team
The RNEH K–12 Curriculum provides lessons and resources focused on the experiences of Black and Indigenous communities. Each lesson also includes materials that educators can adapt for their classroom needs based on local and school standards.
The K–12 Curriculum Committee consists of New England-based scholars, K–12 educators as well as humanities organizations, members of Indigenous nations, and other community members. The committee is committed to promoting the teaching of more diverse and inclusive histories.
