Humanitas Teacher Training

Editor Nate Antiel discusses the soul of the Humanitas curriculum and its mission to connect students to the people history was written by and about. This course is designed for educators who want to bring primary texts to life in their classrooms. Through practical strategies, examples, and stories, you’ll learn how to guide students into meaningful engagement with great works of literature, history, and philosophy. Each lesson builds your confidence in leading discussions, handling challenging passages, and helping students join the ongoing “Great Conversation” across generations.
