D.E.A.R DISCUSSIONS

Designed for younger students, this series of lessons is based around a "Drop Everything and Read" format. It addresses emotional literacy and regulation, empathy skills, and celebrating disability as a form of human diversity. These simple lessons can be adapted for students in preschool through third grade.

EMPATHY & FRIENDSHIP

The lessons in this unit target students in grades 3-5, providing essential instruction in empathy and friendship skills. Students explore how to manage their own emotions, how to demonstrate empathy toward others, and how to be a good friend to everyone.

DISABILITY 101

Disability 101 takes a deep dive into disability awareness education, disability history, and disability justice. Students in grades 4-8 will learn about disability as a form of human diversity, how to be an aspiring ally, and how to be an includer.

Units can be paced according to teacher needs, with multiple lessons in a week for a shorter time frame, or stretched out over a longer period.

EVERYONE HAS A STORY

Co-written with author and professional storyteller Kevin Kling, this unit offers students a chance to explore their identity through storytelling. The unit targets students in the intermediate grades 3-5, but could easily be adapted for students in middle school.

Units can be paced according to teacher needs, with multiple lessons in a week for a shorter time frame, or stretched out over a longer period.
