Whether or not the topic of sexual harassment comes up in class organically, teachers must address it with students. This teacher suggests ways to do that with sensitivity.
This teacher recognizes the ongoing news surrounding Harvey Weinstein, Mike Oreskes and others as an opportunity to openly discuss sexually predatory behavior.
We tracked 90 hate incidents at schools in October alone—and that’s only what made the news. Just as important is the way schools respond, and in most cases, those responses don’t measure up.
This lesson, part of the Digital Literacy series, focuses on teaching students to identify how writers can reveal their biases through their word choice and tone. Students will identify “charged” words that communicate a point of view. Students will understand how writers communicate a point of view implicitly by writing their own charged news stories.
In the last webinar of our series on school climate, NEA and Learning for Justice will offer strategies for responding to biased remarks in a timely manner and helping students to do the same.
In this first of three school-climate webinars with NEA and Learning for Justice, you will reflect on your school's climate, identify existing policies and procedures for responding to incidents of hate and bias, and learn how to draft an action plan.
Can your students tell the difference between real news and “fake” news? Do they have the tools to speak up when they witness offensive speech online? Learning for Justice is proud to introduce our newest collection of K–12 lessons to help students learn to be responsible digital citizens.
