PD in Your PJs: Why Our Stories Matter: Bringing Oral History to Life in the Classroom, Scot Loyd

o For the PD in Your PJs series, we invite you to come as you are, drink what you want, engage with the experts, and leave with 1.0 CPDU credit.
o Scot Loyd, Oral Histories Manager at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, invites educators to explore the power of storytelling as both a teaching tool and a vital historical resource. Drawing on personal experience, vivid examples, and the museum’s rich collection, Scot demonstrates how oral history can engage students, preserve community voices, and spark deeper research. Whether through class projects or as primary source material, this presentation equips teachers to help students discover, record, and honor the stories that shape us all.
