Handling Controversial Issues in a History Class

Although no single approach can help history teachers deal with every controversial issue or situation they might confront, here are my guidelines for dealing with controversial subjects. 
  • Be fair.
  • Use good judgement.
  • Be able to justify what you do in the classroom.
To elaborate on these three points, here are five web pages that provide information about dealing with controversial issues.
