Distance Learning Lessons for Social Justice

Help me give my students digital resources and books for new and meaningful curriculum around racial justice issues in American and around the world! The resources were created by other teachers and have been tested and approved by other teachers.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are bold and beautiful and born and raised in a community that is full of love and pride. Being freshman and sophomores in the school, they pride themselves in being leaders who want to support the younger students grow into bright and strong ladies and gentlemen. They are bright, charismatic, and caring students.

While they are resilient, a lot of them have not been explicitly taught how to balance the rigor of academic life and mindfulness skills and emotional regulation.

The reality is many of them have experienced trauma that affects their ability to concentrate on their coursework. This transition to distance learning has been especially tolling on the students' (and teachers) mind and bodies, but we all want to make it work for the safety of our communities.

My Project

The Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards and books will allow me to quickly and effortlessly upgrade my current curriculum to meet the needs of my students and their distance learning needs. Because there is an urgency for teachers to support their students as they learn at home and also help them to understand the current tension around racial inequality in America, I am in need of new distance learning worksheets and lesson plans. Many teachers have spent lots of hours researching and constructing their social justice plans so that they can be easily adapted or modified for other teachers' classrooms. It would benefit me because these lessons are geared toward a virtual classroom, and they would greatly benefit students because it will give them content in a clear and concise format. Some lessons I am hoping to purchase are titled "Understanding Privilege (Social Justice, Civil Rights, White Privilege)", "Social Justice Online Activity" and "Free Speech Social Justice Protest Project for US History Civics Print & Digital".
