I am a former special education teacher and created and implemented social studies curriculum for middle school students with disabilities. As a white woman, I actively seek resources from respected anti-racist educators to augment my lessons as well as further my own education. These resources include the Center for Anti-Racist Education (https://antiracistfuture.org/), Education with an Apron (https://laneshatabb.com/), National Education Association (https://www.nea.org/), American Historical Association Remote Teaching Resources (https://www.historians.org/research-and-publications/remote-teaching-resources/teaching-decolonization-resource-collection#:~:text=The%20Teaching%20Decolonization%20Resource%20Collection,be%20found%20in%20educational%20materials.), and EmbraceRace (https://www.embracerace.org/). For resources related to LGBTQIA, I refer to the Trevor Project, Strong Family Alliance, and my own experiences as a parent. For resources related to disabilities, I refer to my own experiences as a disabled person (ADHD), as a parent (neurodivergent), as a daughter (chronic disease, physical disability, hearing loss), and my extensive training and professional work in disability advocacy.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
I will be using carefully curated videos and resources within Nearpod. Students will need to create a free account. Nearpod is an approved third-party educational tool. It is rated as excellent through Common Sense Education. You may see their review here: https://www.commonsense.org/education/app/nearpod. The materials will come from an anti-racist, decolonized perspective when speaking about geography and cultural issues. I may use a pre-test with each unit to identify the level needed for scaffolding the materials. The level of information ranges from first to fourth-grade equivalent and I will provide additional resources if the student is interested in going deeper.
I refer to anti-racist and decolonization resources from Education with An Apron, National Education Association, American Historical Association Remote Teaching Resources, Center for Anti-Racist Education, and EmbraceRace.
