Dear Social Justice Colleagues,

Are you looking for an anti-racist curriculum with background  
information, attached handouts and resources, and full lessons.... for  
free?

The Storytelling Project is a curriculum that uses the arts to work  
through issues of race and racism in the classroom.   The lessons are  
based on a model going through different story types about racism:  
from the dominant, mainstream to those of people of color or white  
allies that are concealed to resistance to counter stories, where  
students create their own stories and plans for how to fight racism.  
The 32 lessons that you can find in the link attached below were  
developed by the Barnard Education Program at Columbia University with  
a team of teachers, artists, activists, and scholars as part of  
research on anti-racist curriculum.  We are currently entering our  
final stage of research before we publish this curriculum.

This means that THIS SUMMER is the last chance for you to access the  
curriculum FOR FREE.  These lessons can be used across curriculum  
subjects, in workshops, with organizations, professional development,  
and so much more.  This is still a draft of the final curriculum, so  
in return for giving you a complete pdf copy for free, we are just  
asking for some information for a one-time follow up questionnaire.

The link for the curriculum is:
http://www.columbia.edu/itc/barnard/education/stp/getpdf.html

If you already have downloaded the curriculum, please help us make it  
stronger by doing two things:

1. Make sure that you complete the follow up survey at :
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=KOAi7x9T7X_2bF_2fJYL4WnJew_3d_3d

(you will most likely be receiving another email with more details on  
this shortly)

2. spread the curriculum around! Give it to your colleagues, friends,  
family, listservs, and anyone else who you think might be interested!  
The more people we have trying it out, the better we can make it.

Thanks for your work in helping to create viable and high quality anti- 
racist curriculum!

"What are the standards that we have?  If we're concerned about  
unarmed truth--understanding this condition of truth is allowing  
suffering to speak--and unconditional love--understanding justice is  
what love looks like in public--then the question is, what suffering  
voices do we hear...and what kinds of concerns about justice are made  
manifest...?
