The Institute for Common Power is dedicated to illuminating otherwise undervalued or disregarded aspects of our collective history. We understand the inherent value of teaching truth and allowing young people to look to history as a guide. To this end, educators from around the world who have participated in the Institute’s Truth and Purpose Learning Experience for Educators have created lesson plans based on varied aspects of the history they have learned. Please use these lessons plans in classrooms, at home, in community centers, and other places where they help young people grow, learn, and flourish.

Please check back frequently as we add new lesson plans on a continuous basis.
