Facilitator Classroom Guide
Every classroom-based theme follows a similar construct. The facilitator is provided with power point slides that help to guide the class. Every theme also includes a Facilitator Classroom Guide that provides the instructions and content the facilitator needs to train the theme. This is an example of a portion of a Classroom Facilitator Guide for one theme: View the guide here.

Online Themes

Podcast
Every classroom-based theme has prework that includes a 15 to 20 minute podcast. The podcasts contain interviews with national experts and people with lived experience.
