Community Lessons: Promising Curriculum Practices

Julie Bartsch

Based on actual experiences, Community Lessons is a guide for integrating community issues with meaning to students' lives into the K-12 curriculum. The book provides 14 units that include lesson plans and other valuable information to make implementation easy. The units include the following subject areas: emergency room, bus safety, new kid handbook, vernal pools, ordinary heroes, literacy leaders, veterans, community garden, zoo project, ways to let student voices be heard, nature trail, American dream quilt, responsibilities of citizenship, and senior-senior prom. The guide also features resources to support these activities. The Massachusetts Department of Education sponsored the project. (202 pages)
