Stride’s free “One Voice” curriculum aims to cultivate
fact-based discussions of race and equity
Amid a renewed national spotlight on how issues related to
racial equity are taught in public schools, a new free curriculum created by Stride, Inc. (NYSE:
LRN) aims to equip K-12 educators, students, and families with the
tools they need to be a part of the conversation and thrive in an
increasingly diverse world.
Stride One Voice, an inquiry-based K–12 curriculum, connects
U.S. history and contemporary issues in ways that foster
respectful, honest, and fact-based dialogue about race, equity, and
inclusion. Rather than following a specific agenda or making
assertions about U.S. social institutions, the curriculum
encourages students to shape their own perspective on related
topics. One Voice course materials and teaching resources are
available online and free-of-charge to anyone
who wishes to use the content, including families, school
leaders, and educators in the country.
“Stride is committed to providing the tools needed to help
foster honest, objective, and unbiased conversations about our
shared history, the current social climate, and personal
perspectives,” said James Rhyu, Chief Executive Officer of Stride.
“One Voice continues our effort to bridge the differences that
divide our communities. Together, we can build a better, stronger,
more inclusive nation.”
One Voice includes specialized tools and training resources to
support teachers, school leaders, and families in leading complex
classroom or at-home discussions in an impartial and unobtrusive
manner. Students will gain access to engaging, interactive content
that features a wide range of diverse viewpoints and perspectives.
With flexible, age-appropriate lesson modules, educators can
customize and incorporate One Voice content into existing teaching
and learning plans—for both online and brick-and-mortar classrooms
alike.
As a curriculum provider that serves public and private schools
in all 50 states, Stride develops courses and content that is
flexible enough to meet various state standards and requirements.
What is restricted in one state may be required in another.
Therefore, Stride’s One Voice courses can be customized in ways
that meet respective state standards without impacting each
school’s respective content.
One Voice was developed with extensive input, insight, and
review from an advisory council of experienced educators
representing a diversity of viewpoints and experiences, including;
diversity, equity, and inclusion practitioners; business and
non-profit leaders; and representatives from minority-owned
companies and organizations.
The launch of the One Voice curriculum is part of Stride’s
multi-year commitment to supporting racial and socioeconomic equity
and inclusion in and through education. Stride has been a leading
voice in support of parental choice in American public education
for more than 20 years. The company’s other commitments include
investing $10 million in scholarships for underserved students and
developing socially conscious legal and law enforcement career
pathways of study.
