December 2021
Dear John,
As the winter holidays approach, we have some resources to help you discuss the importance of promoting respect and inclusion during a time of year that poses both challenges and opportunities, especially for schools. Our Book of the Month is a picture book about Hanukkah and we have a new webinar about how to promote inclusive holiday practices. In addition, please take part in the Shine a Light on Antisemitism campaign taking place across the country this week!
Winter Holidays: December Dilemma or Teaching Opportunity?
In schools, November and December can be a challenging time of year—to acknowledge the various religious and cultural holiday traditions celebrated during that time of year while being respectful, inclusive and equitable in what holidays are included and how they are honored.
