About This Webinar
In 1968, two months before his assassination, Dr. King shared, “Everyone can be great because everybody can serve...... You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.” As we approach the 61st anniversary of Dr. King’s, “I Have a Dream” speech, it’s necessary to ask, “Have we truly answered Dr. King’s call of unifying and transforming America through service?”
In January 2024, Martin Luther King III and his family launched Realize the Dream, a movement to unify and uplift youth, schools, families, and communities across America through service. The goal? To collect 100M hours of service in honor of Dr. King’s 100th birthday in 2029.
Common practice of highlighting and explicitly teaching service-learning is often done in honor of MLK Day or Black History Month. So, how can we extend service-learning throughout the year and connect it to curriculum standards?
In this session, we’ll teach you how to authentically engage your students in service-learning, meet your standards, and address real-world community issues that your students care deeply about! From connecting food insecurity to Language Arts and community service to Social Studies, Realize the Dream provides an easy-to-follow framework, K-12 curriculum, classroom videos, grants and much more, to help you lead, serve, inspire, and connect with the issues you care about in your local and global community.
This free, for-credit webinar is just one of many running as part of Share My Lesson's Summer of Learning series. Register now to watch them live or later on demand.
