Welcome to the New PLATO blog!
We are launching a new blog on the PLATO website this month. It will offer a variety of post from teachers, philosophers, graduate students and others involved in PLATO, presenting their ideas for lessons plans, evaluation and assessment tools, thoughts about teaching philosophy to young people, examples of projects and activities, etc.
Upcoming Posts Include:
- A new philosophy outreach program
- A lesson plan on affirmative action
- Philosophy games
- Books for philosophy sessions with children
- Teaching and evaluation in a high school course
Hope you all enjoy the blog! Please send comments and ideas to info@plato-philosophy.org
Best wishes,
Jana Mohr Lone
