Claudette Colvin Twice Toward Justice Readers Theater Play Script
A true and compelling story from the Montgomery Bus Boycott! Who can forget Claudette Colvin? Well, history did for nearly fifty years.

Conflict Resolution Counseling Activity Pack Wild About I-Statements
I-statements are a great way to teach children how to problem solve independently! Students follow a fill in the blank format to state how they are feeling, why they are feeling that way, and a solution to help them react differently next time. Following a set format makes it easier for younger students to practice important conflict resolution strategies. This activity can be used individually or with a small group of students. For a classroom setting, I think it would be great to hang on a bu
