Teacher Notes

The ten lessons in One World: Connecting Communities, Cultures and Classrooms program help teach students fundamentals in diversity, respect for others, and building communities. Although the lessons can be taught independently, each builds on the next, developing skills to promote empathy, dialogue, and respect for diverse opinions.

In addition to the Lessons and Reproducibles, there are also other valuable Scholastic resources you will find helpful in generating and sustaining classroom discussion and activity.

With these resources, teachers will be able to assist students in developing an understanding of what is at stake in our world today, and to promote student reflection as well as critical thinking.
