FREEDOM & CELEBRATING OTHER PERSPECTIVES CURRICULUM
The following is a list of freedom and celebrating other perspectives curriculum topics divided into 2 categories: “Freedom” and “Celebrating Other Perspectives.” If you have an idea or section that you believe should be included here, please send it to us using our Suggestions Page. Visit our Lesson Plans Page for lesson plans designed to integrate this curriculum.
NOTE: Curriculum with asterisks is curriculum we consider “core curriculum” that is central to the lesson plan design process. To identify these subjects we adopted the California Department of Education guidelines (because they are some of the most comprehensive and strict in the nation), added in the national SAT/ACT expectations for grade 7 and beyond, referenced the US Common Core State Standards Documents, and then double checked our curriculum and goals against the best selling and #1 teacher recommended Spectrum Test Prep workbook series. Curriculum with “*” is curriculum identified through these methods as foundational to 1st-6th grade learning. Curriculum with “**” is curriculum identified through these methods as foundational to 7th-12th learning.
