New Resource from TRUCE
Teachers Resisting Unhealthy Children's Entertainment has created
an exciting new resource: The Infant & Toddler Play, Toys & Media Action Guide. TRUCE created this
guide because of their concern about the rapid escalation in marketing high
tech toys and media to infants and toddlers. TRUCE wants to help parents understand
the problem and help them to promote quality play for their very young
children.
The TRUCE
Steering Committee has also updated the TRUCE Toy Action Guide. Always a good resource to help parents and teachers deal thoughtfully
with the December holiday toy/gift-buying season.
Pass these resources on to your fellow educators and parents!

Legacy and Lessons
The Legacy and Lessons of the Civil Rights Movement is an integrated three-part educational program for high school juniors and seniors. The program includes the Legacy Essay Contest, Legacy Lesson Plan, and Legacy Screenings and Discussion Guide. These are three complementary projects designed to provide teachers with resources to bring African-American history to life for their students. Legacy and Lessons seeks to stimulate high school students to take a serious look at what it means to be black or white in America today, how this has and hasn't changed since the days of the Civil Rights Movement, and what the lessons are for how to further the quest for genuine racial equity. Visit Legacy and Lessons to take advantage of these resources.
