More than 350 educators from across 44 states, the District of Columbia and beyond will join Retro Report this year as advisors. These professionals will provide feedback and guidance to expand and sharpen Retro Report’s documentary videos, lesson plans, webinars and professional development opportunities. Working alongside educators to create informed, relevant resources is an essential element of Retro Report’s mission of producing trustworthy, compelling journalism and classroom materials infused with historical contex, all available free at www.RetroReport.org.
“We thrive on teacher input,” said David Olson, Retro Report’s director of education. “There is no better way for us to serve teachers than to hear directly from them, and we are incredibly proud and grateful to be working with this group. We can’t wait to learn from their expertise and experience.”

This year, Retro Report’s Council of Educators is composed of 25 teachers of Social Studies, U.S. History, English, Environmental Science and other subjects. This group will guide the creation of new lessons and activities to accompany Retro Report documentary videos, and will test them in classrooms and provide feedback.
