Teacher-Inspired Lessons

Here you will find primary resources created by the Mill Institute as well as a collection of classroom materials inspired by our 2023-2024 Teaching Fellows. These materials include lesson plans, student activities, and pedagogical resources that prompt students to question their assumptions, seek new perspectives, and engage in open dialogue.

The resources below are excellent materials to use in conjunction with the Viewpoint Diversity Challenge at the start of the school year.

We will continue to add resources to the hub throughout the school year. Stay tuned!
