Educator Resources

To Those Who Educate, Enlighten, and Inspire:

I hope Hey, White Girl provides an opportunity for authentic engagement in your classroom and promotes a sense of community as students learn a slice of complicated American history through the form of a novel. I hope the book opens the “can of worms” that some want to seal. I hope students learn the power of empathy when they “climb into another’s skin and walk around in it,” as Atticus Finch said.

I’ve created free materials for you to adapt in whatever way is useful and makes sense for your classroom. They are more like jumping off points, because every teacher is a creator and every classroom is different. All you have to do is submit the request form with your email address and I will send you a link.

In addition, if you would like classroom copies of Hey, White Girl please use the contact form on the website so I may provide an educator discount for you.

With gratitude for your work in this world,

Judith Bice
