Like millions of other teachers across the country, Robert DeLossa has spent the last four years guiding students through this historic time in our nation s history.
The Lowell High School history teacher continues to do so this Inauguration Day.
DeLossa, who is also social studies department chair at the high school, facilitated student-led discussions about the outcome of the 2016 election. The task at hand remains the same in 2021, even with a fully-remote classroom.
He’s asked his students to listen critically and empathetically to President Biden s inaugural address and identify what his core priorities appear to be. The exercise’s purpose is to allow students to come to their own conclusions about what the new administration represents, he says.
