Upstander Project’s teacher guides, video interviews with film participants and filmmakers, and other resources offer what our community needs to gain deeper understanding and take informed action. Read them on your own or with a trusted group as you strengthen your upstander skills.
The Coexist Teacher's Guide’s synopsis, historical overview, timeline, and extensive resources help educators examine Rwandan history, forced reconciliation, personal healing, forgiveness, betrayal, genuine reconciliation, and other important topics.
First Light learning resources connect educators to sources, questions, and activities to deepen understanding of the brutal history of settler colonialism, its impact on Native peoples, and the healing that can accompany a truth and reconciliation commission.
The compelling question at the center of the Dawnland Teacher’s Guide — What is the relationship between the taking of the land and the taking of the children? — frames study across 12 lessons and will help students collect, analyze, and organize evidence to support an argument that answers the question.
The Dear Georgina Viewer’s Guide helps teachers understand how historical and intergenerational trauma influence the emotional lives of children and young people. It also links Georgina's story to the more recent separation of children from their families at international borders.
The Bounty Teacher’s Guide and accompanying interactive resources deepen understanding of the issues raised in Bounty through the compelling question at the center of the guide — What is the relationship between the taking of the land and the taking of the scalps?
