What is a core resource?
Core Resources
A core resource is a foundational or key resource that complements a curriculum in an especially effective way. It may be a comprehensive resource that broadly addresses several of the student learning outcomes (e.g., a major integrated resource, series, textbook), an in-depth student resource that addresses at least one student learning outcome or a professional resource for educators.

Broken Memory: A Novel of Rwanda
During the Rwandan genocide, five-year-old Emma hides behind an armchair. From her hiding place, she hears the murder of her mother. When silence fills the home, Emma is able to escape and hide in the bush. She observes an old Hutu woman and decides to approach her for food. The old woman risks her own life when she takes Emma into her home. After the war ends, the two women settle into a routine and continue to live together.
Rwanda establishes the Gacaca courts in villages where victims can face their tormentors to seek justice. Emma seeks friendship with Ndoli, another victim of the genocide. Sitting outside the Gacaca court, Ndoli and Emma listen to the victims tell their stories. With the help of an elderly man whose job is to help young child survivors, Ndoli and Emma start the healing process.
A brief author's note puts the book in its historical context.

Every Human Has Rights: A Photographic Declaration for Kids
Eleanor Roosevelt chaired a committee that determined rights for every citizen in every country. Since 1948, these rights declare that every human is entitled to freedom, fair government, freedom to come and go and to associate with others and the right to free expression.
In the foreword, Mary Robinson writes about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, what it means and how we struggle to achieve true freedom for all people. She reminds us that change does not occur by reading a book; rather, action is required.
The rights in the book are accompanied by photographs. Youth are encouraged to write a poem, short essay or paragraph describing what the right means to them. The book includes an index and the full Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

For Every Child: The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in Words and Pictures
In the foreword, Desmond Tutu reminds us that all children have the right to be happy, to be healthy, to learn and to find security in adults that they can trust. Many children in the world do not have these rights, either due to war, famine, training as child soldiers or as refugees fleeing their homes.

North to Freedom: The Underground Railroad to Canada
In this video, students learn about the "passengers" and "conductors" of the underground railroad system. In the U.S., the end to slavery was gradual. Sometimes children would be declared free, while their parents were still slaves. Canada did not have fugitive slaves laws, which made the country desirable for slaves seeking freedom. After arriving in Canada, African-Americans faced other problems. How to provide for themselves (food and shelter), find work and the ability to purchase land. Above all, they still faced discrimination. The program is enhanced with archival photographs and illustrations. Additional features include underground railroad vocabulary and a suggested activity.

The Chinese Thought of It: Amazing Inventions and Innovations
The Chinese people used the resources around them to improve their lives. Travel and trade were facilitated with the development of the paddleboat. The dragon-spine water lift allowed the Chinese to move water from the river to a field or reservoir. The Chinese were among the first to invent processes for working with metal.

Traveling the Freedom Road: From Slavery and the Civil War Through Reconstruction
Slavery was a way of life for many African-Americans during the formative years of the United States. Fortunes were made on the backs of men, women and children, who were forced to work and had no rights. Using diary entries, narratives, schoolwork and anti-slavery publications, Osborne tells the story of slavery. Many young people tried to escape from their masters, sometimes to be caught and returned to the plantation. Alternatively, some succeeded in reaching freedom and then became abolitionists or landowners.
