Social Awareness & Action Programs

TeachableMoment.Org

In 2003, Morningside Center for Teaching Social Responsibility (then called ESR Metro) launched a new website, TeachableMoment.Org,offering free teaching ideas and resources. The website features frequently updated readings and activities on issues of the day — as well as an array of teaching ideas aimed at improving students’ skills in conflict resolution, intercultural understanding, cooperation, and community-building.

Activities on the website are inquiry-based, employing a combination of readings and interactive teaching methods. They are arranged by grade level (elementary, middle and high school).

The website receives hundreds of thousands of visitors a year and has received many plaudits for its rigorous approach and timeliness.

For more information, please visit the site at www.teachablemoment.org or contact website editor Laura McClure at Morningside Center, 475 Riverside Drive, Suite 550, New York, NY 10115; tel: 212-870-3318 x 36; fax: 212-870-2464; email: lmcclure@morningsidecenter.org.
