Teaching Our World contains resources to supplement your anti-bias curriculum. These articles, videos, and stories are perfect for discussing difficult history, discrimination, and inclusion with your young learners in pre-K to second grade.
The content featured in Teaching Our World has been culled from Scholastic’s early childhood magazines—My Big World, Let’s Find Out, Scholastic News 1, Scholastic News 2, and Storyworks 2. While your students may not be able to read all of the articles and stories on their own, all are suitable for read-alouds for pre-K to second grade.
Teaching Our World content is divided into four curated collections: Celebrating Differences, Justice for All, Cool Kids, and Trailblazers and Inspiring Voices. There is no specific order in which to explore the content. Instead, pick and choose what best fits your curriculum and teachable moments.
We suggest reviewing the Welcome Letter and Vocabulary before using Teaching Our World. These documents will give you a great starting point for discussing these critical topics with your students.
We know you want to create a safe space for all students prior to delving into difficult topics. Children should come away from these lessons feeling empowered and respected.
