This summer the Office of Equity and Social Studies Department worked with teachers to create 30 three-day units that integrate social studies and literacy. 

All units….

• are written specifically for K-5 distance learning
• include activities on SeeSaw, Schoology and Google docs
• are built around a children’s book with diverse representation - all books available as multi-user e-books
• integrate standards from social studies, literacy and other content areas
• Identify culturally responsive instructional strategies and Teaching Tolerance social justice standards
• include Courageous Conversations Classrooms, tools teachers can use to develop themselves and their classrooms to engage in meaningful conversations with students
