Selma: The Bridge to the Ballot

 

 

I need to give Tim Garret credit for this one again.  I found this in my Facebook feed and thought it was worth sharing.  It may be a great resource for any classroom teaching civil rights.  There is a free kit for teachers. I don't know what it is like, but it may be worth a try.

Workshop Overview

Students with disabilities require many skills for post-school success, including academic knowledge, technical expertise, and a set of general, cross-cutting abilities called employability skills. The U.S. Department of Education, through an initiative of the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education, developed the Employability Skills Framework in an effort to clearly identify the general skills necessary for success in the labor market at all employment levels and in all sectors.

Intended Audience

The session is relevant for special and general educators, career and technical educators, and vocational rehabilitation staff.
