This is a list of curated educational resources for educators and families to use with their students and children. These resources are not to be used alone, but instead to integrate with other educational materials (conversations, lessons, speeches, video clips, books, etc.) to provide students with the most context and meaningful knowledge.

• This is not an exhaustive list of resources. 
• These educational materials are to be used in conjunction with other resources, conversations, and instruction to provide the most complete context for students.
• These resources are appropriate for middle and high school students, unless otherwise noted.
• As with all educational materials, please preview these resources prior to utilizing with students to check for appropriateness.
