Classroom Speaker Request Form

Facing History & Ourselves has resumed scheduling in-person witness to history classroom-speaker visits . We also provide virtual speakers via Zoom. This service is available to educators who have attended Facing History professional development and are actively using our resources in the classroom. If you are interested in hosting a speaker, please complete this form. A staff member will follow up with you. Please understand that a confirmed speaker is dependent on speaker availability, and we may not be able to fulfill all requests.

* indicates required

Facing History’s speakers are survivors of genocides, their descendants, and civil rights activists. Speaker availability is dependent upon the area where your school is located. Not all regions have all types of speakers. Please check what type of speaker you would like (you may choose more than one).

Classroom Context

Please respond to the following questions:

What type of speaker would you like and what topic(s) would you like them to address?

What topics are or will your students be studying regarding the speaker you are requesting? For example, are they reading, writing, and learning about historical events related to the speakers’ experiences? How knowledgeable about this history will your students be when the speaker visits?

What Facing History resources are you using with your students?

In-person speakers may require transportation. Will you be able to arrange and pay for transportation if necessary?

We encourage, when financially feasible, that schools offer speakers a $250-$300 honorarium. Can you cover the cost of an honorarium? If so, please indicate an amount.
