CROSSROADS OF HISTORY PROJECT
Using Primary Sources to Develop and Implement Informed Meaningful Activity Plans Based on Social Justice and Civil Rights Issues
Cohorts run through 2023 | Virtual
Northwest Council for Computer Education’s (NCCE) Crossroads of History Project is sponsored in part by a grant from the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Western Region Program, coordinated by the Metropolitan State University of Denver.
“Being a part of such an innovative and unique educational experience was enjoyable. I gained a great deal of knowledge when creating the activity plan, including the advantages of the primary resources available through the Library of Congress as well as the historical perspective for marginalized communities.”

NCCE Professional Learning Specialist
The project will facilitate a careful, reverse chronological examination of social justice and civil rights incidents in U.S. history that mirror each other over time providing entry points for those involved in education in and outside of formal classroom settings to use primary sources and social justice standards to:
- Conduct meaningful dialog
- Learn and develop historical inquiries
- Inspire informed actions that give voice to marginalized communities
Crossroads of History is a FREE completely virtual professional learning experience for educators across the spectrum including:
- PreK-16 educational professionals including pre-service teachers
- Public librarians and leaders of tribal youth groups, faith-based youth groups, Boys and Girls Clubs, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, before and after school programs, adult education leadership programs, and other “outside of the classroom” programs
