Resources: Positive Planet school curriculum

Learning about the land and lives of their sister school communities is an important component of Positive Planet's Sister School Program. With the support of educators Jen Avery and Dahlia Nayman of the Hannah Senesh Community Day School, Positive Planet has created lesson plans and educational materials and made then available on the web. We invite our participating sister schools to use them and revise them to meet your needs. We welcome your feedback at info@positiveplanet.net.
