Project Ready offers twenty-nine teaching modules designed to enhance relationships and instruction for multicultural youth. The curriculum focuses on training youth services library staff to amplify multicultural works. It provides strategies for enhancing library programs and services for urban youth, Indigenous youth, and children and teens of all backgrounds. Each module includes videos and audio examples that focus on the topic. Begin with the Curriculum Guide, accessible from the right menu under "Pages," to understand the organization of the modules and the thought process behind creating the instructional cycle.
tag(s): difficult conversations (53), racism (85), native americans (169), cross cultural understanding (163), diversity (62)
In the Classroom
Project Ready's modules are designed for use by individuals or small groups. Although this content is designed for library services, it is invaluable for anyone who works with youth. Follow the curriculum for your personal growth or as a grade- or content-level peer group. Completing all of the modules requires an extended time period; in fact, it might be helpful to use it for professional development over two years instead of one school year. If you and your peers don't have time to complete the full curriculum, consider choosing individual modules based on your professional development goals and school needs, and study them as a group or for your own personal development.

In an increasingly divided world, teaching students to understand, respect, and genuinely care about others' experiences may be one of the most important things educators can do. This collection brings together a diverse mix of tools and resources to nurture empathy in students of all ages, from perspective-taking simulations and documentary films to social-emotional learning curricula, diverse literature, kindness challenges, and global connection platforms that introduce students to lives and stories different from their own. Designed to complement any subject area or grade level, it reminds us that empathy is not just a character trait but a skill we can teach, practice, and strengthen every day in classrooms that put people at the center of learning.
