SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER RESOURCES

Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a great resource for school staff.  They are dedicated to "fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our society. Using litigation, education, and other forms of advocacy, the SPLC works toward the day when the ideals of equal justice and equal opportunity will be a reality" (SPLC website).

They offer a variety of free tools to support issues of equity, including hate and extremism, LGBTQ rights, immigrant rights, children's rights, economic justice and criminal justice reform.  

I'd like to highlight two wonderful resources:

THE TEACHING TOLERANCE MAGAZINE
If you're an educator interested in social justice and anti-bias education—you're in the right spot! Teaching Tolerance magazine brings you updates on issues ranging from race and ethnicity to gender equity, and our resources give you the tools you need to bring your knowledge into the classroom, library or office.

Best of all, Teaching Tolerance magazine is free to educators* and is available in print and on the web. Subscribe below to receive three issues each year—Fall, Spring and Summer (online only).
*Print subscriptions are only available to U.S. and Canadian K-12 classroom teachers, librarians, school counselors, school administrators, professors of education, youth directors at houses of worship and employees of youth-serving nonprofit organizations.
​

Here is a link to some sample lessons addressed in the magazine, addressing identity, immigration, bullying, and more.
FILM KITS

Film kits include films accompanied by viewing guides.  Here is a sample description of one of the films that are available to you:

Bullied: A Student, a School and a Case That Made History
(for grades 6-12)

Bullied is a documentary film that chronicles one student’s ordeal at the hands of anti-gay bullies and offers an inspiring message of hope to those fighting harassment today. It can become a cornerstone of anti-bullying efforts in middle and high schools.

Bullied includes:
  • A 40-minute documentary film (DVD), with closed captioning and with Spanish subtitles
  • A two-part viewer’s guide with standards-aligned lesson plans and activities for use in staff development
  • Additional materials online
​
Bullied is designed to help administrators, teachers and counselors create a safer school environment for all students, not just those who are gay and lesbian. It is also intended to help all students understand the terrible toll bullying can take on its victims, and to encourage students to stand up for their classmates who are being harassed.


Here is a link to the Southern Poverty Law Center's website.  Please take some time to peruse their powerful offerings.
