Celebrate Geography Awareness Week (November 16-22)
Geography lessons can make a "world" of difference in students' knowledge of the world and in their test scores. That's because geography is multidisciplinary by nature. Our archive presents geography lessons that teach geography as well as math, language, and cultural literacy. Included: Dozens of lessons for Geography Awareness Week.

The Great American Smokeout (November 20)

Bullying Awareness Week (November 16-22)
For many years, bullying was seen as a necessary evil -- an unpleasant, but unavoidable, rite of childhood. Ignore it, we thought, and it would go away. The problem hasn't gone away, though, and educators can’t ignore it. Included: Ten special activities for Bullying Awareness Week (November 16-22) -- activities for teaching kids about empathy, anger management, and effective conflict resolution.
