By Tom Roderick Introduction How should educators acknowledge the anniversary of September 11th and educate students about the events of that day and their impact? Those of us who lived through September 11, 2001, remember where we were when we got the news, what we did, how we felt. And we are aware that the impact of September 11 goes far beyond the thousands of tragic deaths that occurred that day. The attacks have had far-reaching consequences ranging from increased airport security to discrimination against Muslims and Arab-Americans to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq in which hundreds of thousands have died. In short, the 9/11 attacks have changed the course of history.

But for most of our students, September 11 is just that: history. Each year on September 11, solemn ceremonies mark the fateful day by honoring the people who lost their lives, and the many who did what they could to help.
