Dear John
CORRECTION: We want to apologize for an error in the December newsletter that went out yesterday (see below). The school, Bunker Hill Middle School, mentioned in our "ADL Education Impact" section is located in Washington Township, New Jersey (not Washington, D.C.). We regret the error.
The winter season is a wonderful time in our communities and schools. Many different celebrations mark the end of the year which can be both exciting and overwhelming.
The resources and webinars below can help create a learning environment that fosters respect, opens dialogue and encourages critical thinking in your classroom, school and community.
