Jo Chrona is the queen of the FPPLs here in BC. If you ever question what one of them means, what it looks like, or meaningful ways to implement it in your classroom, then this is the blog to turn to. She outlines each principle, gives the background and context behind FPPL, and discusses what it means to use authentic resources. She also provides professional development activities, some of which are specific to certain principals you might struggle with.

Population education was introduced to me last year by my math prof. This amazing gold gem of resources also has a blog which focuses on science and social science subjects, specifically human population trends and their impacts on natural resources, environmental quality and human well-being. Their blog features posts such as “How Do Perspectives in Environmental Science in Europe Compare to the U.S.” , “An Explanation of All 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals”, and “How To Calculate the Water Footprint of Different Products”. If you are interested in lesson resources and more information in educating your students about climate change through fun activities, look no further.

Facing History & Ourselves is a blog about ending the cycle of racism, bigotry, and hate by educating our students with lessons from history. It is an American blog but is still extremely relevant and even has a section specifically addressing Canadian history which I’ve linked here. Some posts to consider viewing are “Models of Disability and How They Impact Teaching”, “Addressing Anti-Asian Racism: A Resource for Educators”, and “No PowerPoints, No Prezis: A Creative Genocide Course Inquiry Project”.
