In recognition that Earth Month is in April, this week's educator resources are called Healthy Earth, Healthy Humans. You'll find a variety of lesson plans, videos, and activities that raise environmental awareness and create consciousness around the issues that affect Mother Earth, which is inextricably linked to human health.

Educator Resources:

  1. In collaboration with the Climate Mental Health Network, check out these resources, which include a variety of materials and activities (K-12) to support the whole student, "exploring the relationship between climate and mental health, focusing on accessible, youth-friendly resources that aid teachers in approaching complex and sensitive topics in the classroom."
  2. Created by Kathleen Fullerton, Through Study, Art, Action: Raising Awareness of Environmental Racism is designed for facilitation across five lessons: "students explore how environmental degradation disproportionately affects marginalized communities, reflect on the sacredness of water, and create art to communicate a message of environmentalism."

  3. Written by Anishinaabe Elder, Dr. David Courchene, directed by Indigenous filmmaker, Erica Daniels of Peguis First Nation, and created by Manitoba’s Peg City Pictures Inc., The Seven Sacred Laws is "a colourful and imaginative animated web series that follows a young boy on a vision quest, where he learns valuable lessons from seven sacred animals."
