Awareness days and themed days can play an important role in any curriculum. They are a great way to raise awareness, acceptance, and funds for important local and global issues.
Awareness days can help young people to learn compassion. They encourage them to develop their understanding of the wider world, and they ask them to consider their place within it. In general, we think including awareness days throughout the year as part of your curriculum is great. You'll find many of them covered at five empowering reading levels on Rockerbox News.
Having related, differentiated reading materials is just the start of creating an environment that's inclusive by design.
