Happy Waitangi Day, Aotearoa!

In celebration, we're highlighting Whale Rider, the international hit movie about a Māori girl who challenges gender norms to pursue her destiny, based on the acclaimed novel by Witi Ihimaera.

When Keisha Castle-Hughes was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance at age 13, she became the youngest actress ever nominated for the award at that time and the first Indigenous actress and first Māori actress ever nominated.

We were honored to partner with the filmmakers to make the official teaching guide for this film. Get our free lesson plans to share this beautiful film with your learning community.

Film is a powerful tool for teaching Black History! Today we highlight Margaret Morrison, a lifelong civil rights activist and one of the subjects of our new documentary Resisterhood. Margaret first marched from Selma to Montgomery in 1965, alongside John Lewis and Martin Luther King, Jr, and she is still marching today.

The section on Margaret in the Resisterhood Learning Guide focuses on the driving question: What does it mean to sustain a lifelong commitment to social justice?

Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution follows a group of disabled teens as they become historic disability rights activists.

Crip Camp chronicles decades of disability activism and the fight for disability justice. The film includes the 1973 504 Sit-in, where people with disabilities and the disability community occupied US federal building to push for groundbreaking disability rights legislation. It also highlights the 1990 protests in support of the Americans with Disabilities Act, one of the most stirring scenes imaginable—disabled activists pulling themselves up the Capitol steps in what became known as the “Capitol Crawl.” No overview of US protest history is complete without Crip Camp. 6/n

With NASA in the news, we want to let you know that we offer free resources to help you teach with Hidden Figures. This hit Disney movie is based on the true story of 3 Black women's amazing contributions to the space race in the 1960s: Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson.

We offer a discussion guide that's easy to use in the classroom, film clubs, after school activities and more.

Our free curriculum guide has classroom-ready lesson plans in STEM, language arts, history, and film literacy.

This is a great film to teach for Black History Month & Women's History Month.

We have resources to help you talk about gun violence in your classroom & community. We wish we didn't need to.

To start sensitive discussions around gun violence, we recommend Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down, the story of gun violence survivor Gabby Giffords, and our free teaching guides.

The team that worked on our teaching resources for Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down included gun violence survivors — and it shows. These materials are powerful, accessible and not political at all. Our Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down Learning Guide also includes our Facilitation Guidelines for Group Discussions, to help students voice things they need to talk about.

Get your free Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down guides today.
