Season 7 Episode #8: Fresh & Inclusive: New Lesson Plans to Enrich Your Classroom

Send us Fan MailReady to transform your classroom with culturally responsive teaching resources? Veteran educator Jebeh Edmunds takes us on a journey through her specially designed lesson plans that celebrate diversity while meeting educational standards.Discover the Natural Resources unit plan for sixth graders that explores the ecological wealth of the African continent, complete with activities focused on Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai and comprehensive student resources. For seventh graders, the "Young, Gifted and Black" lesson plan spotlights over 50 influential African and African-American figures who have made significant contributions as scientists, activists, and changemakers. Younger students will connect with "Your Name is a Song," a lesson that honors cultural identity through naming traditions, and the "I Am Enough" plan that builds self-esteem and classroom community for second graders. Each lesson plan is standards-aligned and "prep light," giving you everything needed to implement culturally rich content without spending hours planning. The materials include graphic organizers, presentation rubrics, vocabulary resources, and guiding questions that promote deeper understanding while celebrating diverse perspectives.Episodes Mentioned: Season 6 Episode #3 My Conversation with Award Winning Author Jamilah Thompkins-BigelowSeason 6 Episode #9 Embracing Change: Jamia Wilson on Literature, Activism, and Empowering the Next GenerationLesson Plans Mentioned:Young, Gifted, & Black Lesson Plan Gr. 7Natural Resources Unit Plan Gr. 6Your Name is A Song Lesson Plan Gr. 4Your Name is A Song Lesson Plan Gr. 3Kwanzaa Lesson Plan Gr. 2 Support the showCOME SAY Hey!!Instagram: @cultrallyjebeh_Facebook: @JebehCulturalConsultingPinterest: @Jebeh Cultural Consulting LinkedIn: @Jebeh Cultural ConsultingLeave a Review on our Podcast!
