Harry Potter's World Renaissance Science, Magic, and Medicine - Education Resources. Harry Potter's World presents the following instructional resources for the educators in middle- and high-schools, and in higher education institutions. The resources provide suggested instructional guides and materials that an educator may adapt in whole or in parts as he or she deems most appropriate for the students' interest, level, and academic goals. Middle & High School Lesson Plans Boggart and Fear in Harry Potter and Genetic Traits in Harry Potter are two lesson plans prepared for middle- and high-school teachers. Each lesson plan contains background information and resources related to Harry Potter or academic topics, national standards, learning outcomes, step-by-step procedures, and all classroom materials.
The lesson plans are developed in collaboration with Sahar Saddiqui and Annabella Kraut—English and Science teachers, respectively—at Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School in Rockville, Maryland. Higher Education Module Online Activities Bibliography. Expanding Opportunities for Incarcerated Parents and Their Families - Prison Services - Free Library.
The Free Library’s Prison Services program aims to deepen all participants’ engagement with their neighborhood libraries. This toolkit was designed to help other public libraries replicate this work and launch programs of their own. Stories Alive, the family televisiting program, encourages family literacy and family bonding using live videoconferencing stations to link incarcerated parents at the prison with their children at a neighborhood library. Stories Alive family participants receive library cards, and the incarcerated parents are offered temporary library cards that are valid for one year after their release. In most cases, official forms of identification are required to obtain a library card; the temporary library card program removes this barrier by providing immediate access to Free Library resources.
