Since 1976, Facing History and Ourselves has offered in-depth professional development services; curricular resources; and ongoing support to educators and students in the areas of history, social studies, and language arts. They are dedicated to helping teachers around the world lead their students in a critical examination of history, with particular focus on genocide and mass violence.Facing History’s work is based on the premise that we need to—and can—teach civic responsibility, tolerance, and social action to young people, as a way of fostering moral adulthood. If we do not educate students for dignity and equity, then we have failed both them and ourselves.
They believe that students are moral philosophers—able and willing to think about tough moral and ethical dilemmas in surprisingly sophisticated ways. Their materials and their approach help students with a wide range of abilities and learning styles understand that their choices and actions matter, and that young people can, and should, be agents of change. They provide teachers with the tools they need to educate students so that they can act on their knowledge.
Facing History and Ourselves is an international educational and professional development organization whose mission is to engage students of diverse backgrounds in an examination of racism, prejudice, and anti-Semitism in order to promote the development of a more humane and informed citizenry. By studying the historical development and lessons of the Holocaust and other examples of genocide, students make the essential connection between history and the moral choices they confront in their own lives.

The Tsongas Center is a hands-on history center for students to learn about the American Industrial Revolution through hands-on activities and by experiencing history where it happened. Students "do history" by weaving, creating a canal system and testing water wheels, working on an assembly line, role-playing immigrants, or becoming inventors. In investigating industrial history, students can also "do science," testing river or canal water quality, tracing the flow of groundwater pollution, or discovering river cleanup techniques. The Tsongas Center is a curriculum resource for teachers to participate in practical professional development workshops and great primary-source-based teaching activities. Teachers can get professional development points and, in some cases, graduate credit for their work at the Center.
The Tsongas Center is a partnership between the University of Massachusetts Lowell Graduate School of Education and Lowell National Historical Park who each provide a portion of the funding and staff to operate the Center.
