Lessons and Resources to Teach, Lead and Inspire During a Global Pandemic
First of all, hello to all of our subscribers, teachers, and leaders.
We have been extremely quiet over the past year and for that we sincerely apologize.
However, we have been hard at work, creating hundreds of new lesson plans.
We have been modifying, updating, and editing older content and completely redesigning Pocket Passport’s user interface and experience.
More about all of that in some blogs over the coming weeks as we roll things out.
For now, we wanted to check in and hopefully offer fellow teachers and schools some lesson content and materials.
However, we thought that we should focus on positive things that are happening in the world right now.
We completely understand how easy it is to become completely absorbed, overwhelmed, and paralyzed by our current global situation.
Quite frankly, it sucks.
However, we also believe that as teachers, educators, and leaders, we need to step up like never before.
We aren’t here to dwell on what is bad with everything that is happening in the world (because that is evident enough).
More importantly, as teachers and leaders, we are here to help our students go forward positively.
We are here to teach: compassion, caring, trust, sharing, love, understanding, empathy, sympathy, how to overcome fear, cultural awareness, hope, wisdom, and optimism, to show that tomorrow will be better.
How we handle what lies ahead of us will make us better people, communities, and human beings.
This current situation is unprecedented in our lifetimes and it seems it is still very much, just the beginning.
Physical health is part one.
Economical, mental, spiritual health are all challenges which lie ahead.
As a result, we have created a series of lessons and resources to focus on things to spread all that is good today.
And what we can look forward to in the future.
I invite you all to join us to create a better world today – student-by student, and lesson-by-lesson.
So that tomorrow we are more prepared and better equipped to take on the most challenging upcoming phase of our global pandemic: recovery.
The conversations, videos, illustrations, and lesson plans are all meant to stimulate conversations, share, and tell stories in order to make the best of this situation.
To make the world a better place.
Today’s first set of resources is a set of illustrations about sharing and caring.
We encourage you to teach vocabulary and expressions that are centered around positive, happy ideas that are helping to make the world a better place to be.
The world is in dire need of leadership right now. The world needs more leaders like you.
