Good morning, Mike here with Chalkbeat New York.
As the 25th anniversary of the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, approach, we’re hoping to gather perspectives from educators on how you’re talking about it with students. Are you using any of the city’s instructional guides, or resources from the 9/11 Memorial & Museum or the Tunnel to Towers Foundation? You can fill out our survey here and help inform our coverage of how schools are grappling with an event that profoundly shaped our city and country.
A new school year needs strong local reporting. Help Chalkbeat’s reporters keep asking the questions that matter.
