Facing History and Ourselves

Our Mission:Facing History and Ourselves uses lessons of history to challenge teachers and their students to stand up to bigotry and hate.

Our Organization: Through professional development training, follow-up support, and best-in-class educational resources, Facing History equips middle and high school educators to teach classroom lessons and units that integrate social-emotional learning and civic knowledge and skills into core academic content, including history, social studies, and English/Language Arts.

Headquartered in Brookline, MA, Facing History has a global footprint with seven U.S. sites (Brookline, MA; Chicago; Cleveland, Los Angeles; Memphis; New York City, San Francisco), two international partner entities (Toronto and London), and partnerships in several countries including Northern Ireland, France, South Africa and China.

Our Impact: Each year, more than 90,000 educators across the globe benefit from Facing History’s resources and, in turn, impact millions of students. More than 160 research studies conducted by Facing History’s evaluation department and independent researchers, including two randomized controlled trials, have shown that Facing History improves outcomes for teachers and students and improves learning environments.
