Webinar: Using the “Pandemic” issue of The Change Agent in the Classroom
Watch a FREE one-hour webinar about our new issue of The Change Agent on the pandemic. This issue is full of powerful, multi-level writings by students about how they are coping with the virus at home, in their communities, and at work. Activities and discussion questions aligned to the College and Career Readiness Standards make this classroom-ready, and our online features (including audio versions of articles) make this a great resource for distance learning. View below:
Access “Talking About Race” for Free!
Racial discrimination in the U.S. is a 400-year-old problem that has recently exploded into public consciousness once again. All of our issues include a racial equity dimension, but the “Talking About Race” issue has especially strong resources for talking about race in the classroom. Thanks to some extra funding, we are making this issue FREE for a full year. To access it, please sign up here.
Access “Stand Up and Be Counted” for Free!
Being counted, in both the 2020 election and the census, matters. Democracy matters. The pandemic needn’t stop us from teaching students how to participate civically in these and other ways! From now through the election, you can access the “Stand Up and Be Counted” issue for free, along with all of the related online audio, and use the “read and comment” option available for each article. To access this free issue, please sign up here.
