This month’s featured resource:
Sample World Savvy’s Immigration and Identity curriculum!
Click the photo above to download a free sample of World Savvy’s Immigration and Identity curriculum – a key component of our Global Youth Media & Arts Program (MAP). Immigration and identity is an increasingly vital area of exploration for American youth as our communities, workplaces and schools become more diverse, and the MAP guides youth and teachers in exploring their own lives and communities as a means of engaging with this crucial issue. The full curriculum takes students on a journey, guiding them through Self – an exploration of personal identity – to Movement – focused on the mechanics and motivation of immigrant journeys – to Settlement – an investigation of the benefits and challenges that immigrants and communities face as they adapt to new circumstances. Read more about the innovative MAP, recently featured by the Asia Society.
