This series help students think about their bodies and body images in a social justice context. Each lesson looks at a different aspect of the relationship children have with their bodies. The series helps students take ownership over their own feelings and attitudes and develop an activist stance in terms of understanding body image and also looking after their own physical and emotional wellbeing.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Knee dislocations often involve injury to multiple major knee ligaments, necessitating concurrent multiligament reconstruction to restore native joint stability. One of the most important variables in this procedure is successful graft tensioning, but there’s been little consensus as to which tensioning sequence best achieves an anatomic tibiofemoral orientation. To guide surgical decision making, a team based at the Steadman Philippon Research Institute in Colorado biomechanically tested different graft tensioning sequences on a human model of knee dislocation. Their results revealed one sequence that may improve outcomes from multiligament reconstruction. The testing was performed on ten cadaveric knee specimens. The team mimicked the injuries sustained during a dislocation by subjecting each knee to sectioning of the anterior cruciate ligament, the posterior cruciate ligament, and the static stabilizers of the posterolateral corner..."

Students interview one another, then draw or paint portraits containing symbols that represent the subject’s identity, beliefs, values or areas of interest.

Students create visual self-portraits that contain symbols representing the student’s identity, beliefs, values or areas of interest related to diversity, anti-bias or social justice.

The familiar children’s tune “If You’re Happy and You Know It” can take on a pro-social dimension if you change the lyrics. Singing “If you’re angry and you know it” provides an opportunity to explore appropriate responses to anger.

I’ll be the Judge asks students to demonstrate their argumentative and comparative writing skills.

Students will observe emotions depicted in an 18th-century bust and two 19th-century paintings. They will learn about and create similes based on paintings that depict people waiting and receiving a court verdict, respectively. They will write their own narratives about a time they had to wait, and they will use similes to describe characters' emotions. Students will then create two original works of art that illustrate their narratives.

In this activity, students will examine documents from the FBI case file about Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. They will answer questions to show understanding of the events that took place, and how the spread of information about Selma impacted the Civil Rights Movement. They will also be asked to think about whether the Federal Government would have acted differently if the FBI knew that the public may be able to see their files — the Government was not required to release records like this until the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) gave the public the right to request Federal agency records in 1966.

Within this series of lessons, students will explore these essential questions:
What basic human necessities are needed to thrive in society?
How do we measure wealth?
How to move from oppression to resiliency?
How to move from oppression to social change?
Students will examine the extent to which people pass judgment, discriminate and violate human rights in communities of color and to what extent these same communities remain resilient. Students will learn and apply their knowledge of non-violent communication to increase self awareness, school and career readiness skills in the social-emotional domain, and develop an understanding about their bio-reactions. Students will research and analyze strengths and challenges within their community. They will then identify a need and develop action steps to meet that need. We will move our instruction from broad to personal perspectives of understanding the conditions in the larger world as well as their own. By moving from the global/community perspective into the relational/historical experience and end with their personal perspective, students will develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of themselves within time and space.

"Despite the availability of effective and safe glucose-lowering agents, many patients with type 2 diabetes do not achieve glycemic targets. This finding suggests that when it comes to deciding on treatment options, efficacy and safety are only part of the equation; patients’ preferences, needs, and values should also guide decision-making. In this vein, researchers explored the attitudes of patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes towards semaglutide. Semaglutide is an injectable, once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, or GLP-1 RA. Growing research has shown semaglutide to be safe and effective for controlling glucose levels and to induce weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes..."

In Conversation asks students to demonstrate their narrative skills when applying different points of view in writing.

The purpose of this class is to offer students a new perspective on the importance of our bodily experience to our cognitive and social lives. The curriculum is designed to foster a working appreciation for how better bodily awareness can positively affect how we feel in our bodies, carry and present ourselves for improved social sensitivity and more successful social interactions.

This is a collection of resources to assist with infusing Indigenous knowledge, culture and values into the Financial Literacy Module 2 The Decision-Making Process (core Introductory).

Outcome: Apply decision-making strategies to various personal and community financial scenarios.
