If you want your students to be more empathetic moving forward, start by looking back
Stories of Color was created by a biracial, seasoned Charlotte Mason homeschooler who was dissatisfied with the predominantly white, euro-centric book lists and resources so commonplace among teaching communities and curriculums. If we’re truly looking to provide future generations with a rich, holistic education, it requires we share more diverse, multicultural history and stories that bring new ideas, experiences, and perspectives to life for our children.
In this robust, printable guide to history, you’ll gain that and more. Anticipate a weekly journey through culture and time that sets a diverse table of ideas for you and your students to abundantly feast upon all year long. When a weekly event or key figure inspire your curiosity and imagination, then dive into one of the 100+ accompanying book suggestions—over 75% of which are authored by people of color. Plus, plan your year’s celebration of heritage months and other cultures with a handy calendar and list of additional reading suggestions for every season.
This week in history will guide you in confidently teaching a rich view of history and culture as every subject should be taught—with love.
