Lesson Plans
Each month we will present lesson plans that have been vetted from strong sources centered on equitable classroom practices and meet requirements for the Oregon Ethnic Studies Standards, Tribal History/Shared History, or Holocaust Education. You may find it necessary to design and use an intentional pre-lesson to maximize the effectiveness of any of these lessons listed below. Because all these lessons will center on aspects of equity and social justice, be sure to take stock of the readiness and support for this learning in your students and school. Please let us know how these lessons turn out or share your favorite lessons that are similar by emailing teresa.ferrer@oregoned.org
