Collected lessons for teaching Black History Month, primarily for high school and middle school.
The fires raging across Australia in recent months have led to shocking devastation. Students discuss the scope of the disaster and its relationship to climate change; share their feelings about it; and consider responses, from supporting relief efforts to climate activism.
Basic guidelines for responding to instances of bias related to the coronavirus. 

This lesson provides factual information for students about the coronavirus aimed at preventing students from targeting classmates who are thought to be from China.
