Challenging Assumptions: A Social Justice Curriculum

Empower kids in grades 9–12 to challenge normalized prejudice and inspire their understanding of others regardless of species, race, gender, sexual identity, age, or ability with TeachKind’s engaging, eye-opening Challenging Assumptions program. This free collection of videos, images, activities, and reading material examines the intersection of many forms of discrimination, including how they started, why they persist, and what we can all do to bring about positive change.

“Teaching a child not to step on a caterpillar is as valuable to the child as it is to the caterpillar.”

Make Dissection Digital! Hands-On Science Lessons  

TeachKind has brought numerous digital dissection tools together in one convenient place with the Make Dissection Digital! online resource center. Having children cut open an animal teaches them to treat living beings like disposable equipment, and it funds companies that breed these animals or capture them in their natural habitat before killing them in painful and terrifying ways. In response, kind, modern organizations—including Expandable Mind Software, Merge Labs, Digital Frog International, and Cogent Education—are making astoundingly lifelike digital alternatives that are perfect for virtual learning or the classroom.

These tools don’t put kids at risk from handling dangerous chemicals, are reusable, and never require that students check their morals at the door. TeachKind has also provided a handy tool for finding out what your state’s laws are regarding dissection choice, as many states require that schools offer humane alternatives for students with ethical objections to dissection.
