Knowledge

“RedThread Knowledge 6-8 has brought a refreshing element of relatability to my ELA class. The curriculum inspires my 8th graders to envision themselves as change-makers in the world by providing them with texts that show them how others, from a diverse variety of backgrounds, have made a global impact across history. The project-based learning approach emboldens my students to envision their dreams and make them reality. Many curriculums bolster rote thinking and thus dim the intellectual curiosity and investment of the students they are meant to support. RedThread Knowledge, on the other hand, encourages creativity and embodies the vision that all people, whatever their background or identity, can achieve greatness and push the world forward. This is how lifelong learners are born."

“The RedThread Knowledge units have supported our classrooms in integrating highly engaging culturally responsive content, while also intentionally building transferable reading and writing skills. Our students see themselves represented in rich texts that support not just their understanding of the world, but also of themselves and their communities. Through authentic learning tasks, our students and teachers engage with social justice-oriented themes that make "meaning mindset" come to life in ways that elevate our students’ ability to think critically and apply their learning to their own context.”

“RedThread Knowledge has been a game changer for our teachers, children and families. Children are learning how to read and write in the context of learning history. But it’s not a history that is disconnected from them. It’s a history that includes and is reflective of them. It is the first truly culturally responsive curriculum I have ever seen in my 28 years as an educator. RedThread has been a Godsend for my teachers who were craving work that is both intellectually challenging and emotionally supportive.”
