Teaching Through Books: Ableism
Part of the Teaching Through Books series, this lesson discusses ableism, which refers to the attitude and underlying social prejudice of assuming that all individuals can, or should, be able to do things in the same way. Ableism undermines and harms people living with diverse abilities and disabilities, and impacts society as a whole by continuing harmful stereotypes and overgeneralizations that devalue and perpetuate discrimination. This lesson plan utilizes a collection of featured books to explore the topic. It is also divided into three sections suitable for primary, middle, and high school.
