This class was great. From k-12 teachers will see a variety of resources to help them make class more diverse and discover ways for students to more fully participate. The materials were easy to access at my local library. Students will enjoy learning about people from all different walks of life.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class! The work was well organized and very manageable in the time frame. The discussion topics were thought-provoking, and the assignments all provided resources that can be used in the classroom right away. I loved reading the core text and learning about so many achievers I hadn't known about before--can't wait to share with students!
