The World’s Women: Lessons on How Education and Fertility Impact Demographic Change
Help your students unpack the critical role that women and girls play in shaping population growth dynamics. In this free, on-demand virtual workshop, facilitators share teaching strategies that encourage data literacy, making real-world connections, and critical thinking about factors that impact our demographically divided world.
During the session, you’ll see classroom activities in action, and get the lesson plans to take home. First, an exploration of historic fertility data and analysis of how quality of life indicators, like access to education, can impact demographic trends. Then, poem analysis related to girls’ education, considering the voice, meaning, and mood of the verses.
The virtual workshop is perfect for grades 6-12 social studies and ELA teachers, but all educators are welcome to view!
