After participating in a book discussion led by NH Listens, a group of public school teachers are working to broaden history lessons. Kyra Dulmage is part of a fifth-grade team rewriting the social studies curriculum to highlight contributions of marginalized groups, including Native American Indians. This summer, she and her cohorts are meeting every two weeks via Zoom with Bethany Silva, who directs the Community Literacy Center, a resource for pre-K through 12 learners, families and educators at UNH.
