Teaching is an act of faith and hope. We plant our seeds and we water our gardens, but what grows there is often beyond our control.

🌍 In honor of #WorldRefugeeDay, we are showcasing films that provide a personal perspective on the experiences of migrants, refugees and displaced persons around the world. Our teaching materials for these films support students in practicing compassion and humility and making meaningful attempts to understand why refugees flee their homes, what their lives are like, and how everyday people can get involved to help. For grades 4-12.

Inspire public service in your classroom and community with Resisterhood! Today we're highlighting Luis and Soraida Gutierrez, subjects of our new documentary Resisterhood from director Cheryl Jacobs Crim. Luis Gutierrez, a longtime Congressman from Chicago, led the charge to boycott the 2017 Inauguration, and his wife Soraida inspired their participation in the first Women’s March. Luis's story also highlights the Puerto Rican community and speaks broadly to the modern American immigrant experience.

The section on the Gutierrez Family in the Resisterhood Learning Guide explores the different ways elected officials can work inside a system or challenge it from the outside. It includes great extension activities to pursue civic engagement. For grades 10-12, higher ed and adult learning. It's great for campus screenings and community education, too!
