Teach Human Rights

Picture
As a classroom teacher, your life is very busy. That is why this site was established as a resource that does not include a complicated curriculum guide that no one has time to read. Instead, you will find educator-approved materials that you can click and use tomorrow in your classroom.

Given everything you're up against, we assume that you may only have one day to teach about these important topics and have planned accordingly. In short, we did all of the heavy lifting content-wise, allowing you to orchestrate the class as you normally do. Either way, we encourage you to learn more and get involved, empowering your class to repair the world.


“Nations, cities and towns should use the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights as the common standard for dignity, freedom and human rights of all men, women and children. We must work to fully realize the declaration so that all people from every corner of society are treated equally and with dignity and worth.”

-Randi Weingarten, AFT President
