[youthradioleaders] resources on teaching, youth, pedagogy?

[Johanna Franzel (Jones)]

Kat,

As a teacher, I often looked to (the now somewhat dated) Diversity in 
Action, by Sharon Chappelle and Lisa Bigman.  It's billed as an 
experiential educator's guide to exploring "issues of diversity with 
middle school and high school age youth," and is full of activities 
that focus on issues of racial identity, sexual orientation, class and 
communication (among others).  Though some of the exercises were more 
successful than others, they often were great catalysts for group 
discussion and conflict resolution, and the book includes questions to 
help with group process.

Educators for Social Responsibility 
(http://www.esrnational.org/home.htm), has a number of publications and 
online resources to "help educators create safe, caring, respectful, 
and productive learning environments."

I'd love to hear what other people have to suggest.  Thanks for posting 
this question - sounds like you are creating a hugely valuable 
resource!
