Selma Online: Young People Impact the Vote
Selma Online is a new resource we developed with Harvard’s Hutchins Center and Left Field Labs, supported by the Rockefeller Foundation. The online platform uses scenes from the film Selma directed by Ava DuVernay and offers educators an innovative, interactive resource to teach the history of the civil rights movement and the ongoing fight for voting rights. Read more ([link removed]) about how to use Selma Online in your classroom.

------------------------------------------------------------
In this Q&A ([link removed]) , Mica Pollock, professor of education at the University of California, San Diego, describes the story behind #USvsHate—the initiative that challenges students to speak out against bigotry by creating original anti-hate messaging. Submit your students’ #USvsHate work for the spring challenge by March 20 and we’ll send you a free set of posters.

** Check Out What We’re Reading
------------------------------------------------------------

“Several challenges stand in the way besides the cost of new software or infrastructure. In many communities, large numbers of students don’t have internet access at home. Other students, such as those with special needs, may need the services they would get in person at a school. All of this means that a switch to remote learning could worsen longstanding equity problems.” — Chalkbeat ([link removed])

“Sometimes people tell me I don’t ‘look’ autistic (whatever that means). I am trapped in what I call the Autistic Paradox, too autistic to function comfortably in a neurotypical environment, but too apparently “normal” to get the sensory accommodations and solitude I need.” — The Washington Post ([link removed])

“A 2018 study published in the European Journal of Psychotraumatology estimated that about 175 million children per year will be affected by natural disasters attributed to climate change. That number is expected to rise as climate change progresses, yet little is known about how children cope with natural disasters.” — HuffPost ([link removed])
