Supporting Youth (and Youth Activism) after the Stoneman Douglas High School Shooting
The February 14, 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Florida, and the subsequent swell of student activism focused our national discussion on mass shootings and school safety. This edition of The Moment explores three ways educators can join this important conversation: approaching the topic of mental health with students, getting involved (directly and indirectly) in the growing movement, and honoring the history of young change makers.

We wish it weren't necessary to share these resources again. If you’re struggling with what to say to your students about the devastating attack on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, these resources can help. And if you or your students are taking action to prevent gun violence, we’d like to hear about it. Please contact our Editors.

Celebrating Black History Month by Teaching Hard History
Black history is American history—and it should be taught year round. But Black History Month offers a great opportunity to focus attention on the history and contributions of African Americans. This edition of The Moment features a few of our favorite black history resources: the text "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" (the "Black National Anthem"), our new materials on effectively teaching about American slavery and our article about one teacher’s commitment to “mining the jewel" of February each year.

Analyzing the State of School Climates Across the Country
We previously reported on the effect of the 2016 election on U.S. schools. Our survey results indicated that feelings of fear and mistrust—and incidents of bias and bigotry—were on the rise.
