A Class Divided In 1968 after the killing of Martin Luther King, Jr., Jane Elliott divided her third-grade class into groups of blue-eyed and brown-eyed group and gave them a direct lesson in discrimination.

Lewin/Schein's Change Theory A one-page overview of Change Theory, with references to other sources.

[|Capturing Kids' Hearts] Includes questions for a Social Contract, as well as other ideas for creating a climate of civility in schools.

[|Poetry of Resilience] Poetry of Resilience is a documentary about six international poets who individually survived Hiroshima, the Holocaust, China's Cultural Revolution, the Kurdish Genocide in Iraq, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Iranian Revolution. These six artists, including Li-Young Lee, present us with a close-up perspective of the "wide shot" of political violence. Each story is powerful, though the film's strength comes from its collective voice: different political conflicts, cultures, genders, ages, races -- one shared human narrative. This is a link to the trailer.
