We are thrilled to announce the newest addition to the Reacting Consortium team. Please join us in welcoming David Harris, who is stepping into the role of Digital Resources Manager.

David brings a wealth of experience and passion and is committed to helping expand access to the Consortium’s active-learning curriculum. With a background as a high school history teacher, David is particularly interested in expanding the reach of the Consortium within secondary education, and his familiarity with running games in his own classes leaves him uniquely equipped to address these challenges and more.

In his role as Digital Resources Manager, David will be managing the online resource library, expanding the social media presence of the Consortium, and supporting new and ongoing projects and events. We are excited for the fresh perspectives and energy he will bring to our team.

When asked what drew him to the role, Harris shared:

“Reacting to the Past is a curriculum I was first exposed to in college and had been looking for the opportunity to use ever since I became a teacher. Utilizing games like Kyle Lincoln’s Fourth Crusade or Emily Gray’s Augsburg 1530 made for some of my best moments teaching, and I look forward to supporting other teachers in implementing the Reacting to the Past curriculum in their own classrooms.”

David lives in Joplin, Missouri with his wife and two-year old son, and loves board games (in particular any designed by Cole Wehrle), reading the latest Cosmere novel, or trying to make a new dish in the kitchen.

Please help us extend a warm welcome to David Harris – we’re thrilled to have him on board!
