Teaching resources and lesson plans for educators

The Sikh Coalition has created lesson plans, compiled reading lists, case studies, media articles, and video resources to make it even easier to teach about Sikhism into your classroom. In addition, we have important anti-bullying resources for administrators.

Teaching About Sikhism Through Inquiry

To help students learn about Sikhism, this collaboration between C3 Teachers and the Sikh Coalition offers a collection of teaching tools and support materials for teachers using the C3 framework. These include an elementary inquiry, a high/middle school inquiry, and a viewing and discussion guide to CNN’s United Shades of America episode about the Sikh community with W. Kamau Bell.
