Dear Colleagues,

Last night’s PBS Newshour had a segment featuring “Perspectives for a Diverse America”, an initiative of the Southern Poverty Law Center.  Perspectives is “a literacy-based curriculum that marries anti-bias social justice content with the rigor of the Common Core Standards”.  See http://perspectives.tolerance.org and http://www.tolerance.org/about

The “Central Text Anthology” looks like a terrific list of resources organized by grade level and theme.  Highly recommended for School Media Specialists and Children and Young Adult Services librarians.

Enjoy!
