Description
Put Dr. Gholdy Muhammad's groundbreaking instructional framework into action! In this resource, you'll find sixty lessons that each zero in on a pursuit--identity, skills, intellect, criticality, or joy--and can be taught across the day. Each lesson is based on a "layered text," such as a picture book or poem, that serves as a springboard for deepening students' understanding of themselves, others, and the world. You'll also find implementation models and ideas for classroom organization and management.
