The Social Studies & Civics Conference previously announced in the Social Studies Department Weekly Newsletter has been canceled.
The Hidden Voices project, created by the Department of Social Studies & Civics, allows students to find their voice in history as they become analysts of the past and make connections to the present. Each Hidden Voices resource guide supplements and is aligned to Passport to Social Studies. The Hidden Voices project is a product of collaboration between the NYCDOE, scholars, institutions, and educators. This page features the Resource Guides and Additional Resources for each Hidden Voices edition. Use the menu below to quickly navigate to Hidden Voices:
Resource Guides
The Hidden Voices resource guides help teachers to build the background knowledge necessary to facilitate inclusive learning experiences that examine the contributions of underrepresented individuals and groups throughout history. Each resource guide includes instructional and pedagogical strategies, essays on historically significant eras, and profiles of individuals. Each profile includes a narrative essay, questions to help shape instruction, connections to Passport to Social Studies, and a series of primary and secondary documents related to the profile.
