Teacher's Guide to Adoption

Wednesday February 9, 2005
Robin Hilborn, editor of Family Helper, has just published the second edition of the Teacher's Guide to Adoption. This handy tool that is easily found and utilized on the internet is for the elementary and secondary school teacher. It's about helping the teachers create unbiased school projects for children who have non-traditional families.
From Robin, "Parents should find it handy when dealing with adoption issues in the classroom. I hope teachers will appreciate the modules on research and resources, and the glossary." The lessons are:
  • MODULE ONE -- Many ways to make a family
  • MODULE TWO -- Many ways to create a child
  • MODULE THREE -- Biased class assignments -- and how to fix them
  • MODULE FOUR -- Teaching the language of adoption
  • MODULE FIVE -- How to introduce adoption in elementary school
  • MODULE SIX -- Answers for the pregnant student
  • MODULE SEVEN -- A suggested classroom presentation
  • MODULE EIGHT -- Research points the way
  • MODULE NINE -- Adoption resources for teachers and students
  • MODULE TEN -- Glossary: the ABCs of adoption
