I, Witness Educator Guide

The I, Witness book series offers a unique opportunity for young readers to listen to and learn from the voices of young people impacted by injustices. Further, each book provides opportunities for young readers to deepen their understanding of what equity means by considering questions such as: Who should be centered in the work of justice? What does it mean to advocate on behalf of others? Who are the changemakers of society?

This educators’ guide includes recommendations for table setting—the work that is necessary before reading and discussing the I, Witness nonfiction book series with students, as well as teaching suggestions for work that can support students during and after they read.
