Sisters of Mercy Curriculum Resources

Sister Regina Ward introduces curriculum resources developed by a team of educators to teach the critical concerns of the Sisters of Mercy. These resources, aimed at English and social studies teachers, cover five social justice priorities: earth, immigration, non-violence, anti-racism, and women. Each resource includes definitions, essential questions, recommended topics, and lesson plans. The resources are available on the MESA website and are updated biannually based on feedback. They are optional tools to help educators integrate critical concerns into their curriculum.
