Evaluation and Impact - Facing History and Ourselves

We have had an ambitious and strategic research and evaluation agenda for the past three decades. Independent researchers and Facing History evaluators have carried out more than 90 studies to assess the effectiveness of the program.These outcomes for teachers and students have been remarkably consistent. A landmark study funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York found that students in Facing History classrooms develop significantly greater interpersonal understanding and negotiation skills as well as reduced fighting and racist attitudes.
