FREE Resources for teachers!!
Teaching Tolerance is a wonderful resource for free teaching kits and unit/lesson plans for all ages on a range of social justice/ social emotional themes. For example, the award-winning video on Bullying is accompanied by an extensive viewing guide and standards-based lesson-plans.
On the Teaching Tolerance website, you can search by subject area or grade level. Materials are free, with a limit of one per school. These are high-quality materials, with engaging content across the curriculum. Perhaps most importantly, they address critical issues that all of us have to address while meeting our students' academic needs.
Other titles: Mighty Times: The Children's March, Mighty Times: The Legacy of Rosa Parks, Viva La Causa (Cesar Chavez).
Please come back and comment on any kits that you have used and how these may have been helpful in your classroom.
Teacher Spotlight on Resources:
Diala, 2nd-year UNITE teacher found some much-needed FREE books at SCARCE in Glen Ellen.
"I got 70 copies of Lord of the Flies and 36 brand new Writers Inc Student Handbooks. The place is amazing. If you are a teacher you can pick up whatever they have for free!"
Diala, 2nd-year UNITE teacher
Check it out or send one colleague with your wish list.
Thanks, Diala!
