Join Pulitzer Center grantee Alice Su and Senior Education Manager Fareed Mostoufi for a professional development workshop on "Addressing the Issue of Terrorism in K-12 Education." Su will discuss how to have meaningful conversations about terrorism with students.

The event will include interactive reflection, hands-on activities exploring current reporting on global terrorism and a Skype presentations from Pulitzer Center grantee Scott Anderson. Teachers will leave the session with resources and lessons plans that can be shared with their students and communities.
