As educators, we can never be sure of what we will face in our classrooms. This toolkit will help you and your colleagues think about how to be best prepared for your students’ needs.
Dealing with trauma in a school setting can be challenging for educators. This toolkit offers a number of resources that help educators build trauma-sensitive schools.
Children can learn a thing or two from pets. They learn responsibility through feeding and caring for their furry friends. They learn about loss when their pets die and they partake in their first funeral rites.
Students create a large-scale artistic depiction in a community space. As an alternative to the community mural, students can create a set of informational posters that reflect a diversity topic or social justice theme.
No matter how educators identify or how long they have been teaching, it’s critical that they reflect on their ability to discuss race, racial (in)equality and racism—past and present—with students. This toolkit offers strategies for how educators can engage in this reflection and strengthen their practice.
Teaching about religious extremism can be challenging, but not teaching about it may sow seeds of intolerance. This toolkit for "Extreme Prejudice" is an activity that teaches students about religious diversity and that extremists—in any religion—represent a small minority of people.
