The Amped Facilitator's Guide to Online Engagement
As those of us who serve our community’s youth transition to online platforms to remain safe during pandemic responses, we need methods and resources that support our capacity to positively engage young people in these virtual spaces.
This guide provides methods and resources that Humanities Amped has used in the past and is now tailoring to online environments. Please note that as we learn we will update this guide. We also ask that you share what you learn with us so that we can co-create a more comprehensive guide to share with any person or group who serves youth.
Humanities Amped believes that facilitative learning is foundational to generating student well-being, building connection between and among participants and leaders, and developing the confidence and agency necessary for young people to engage in civic-minded problem-solving. We thank you for choosing to use these methods and would love your feedback for improving this guide. Please contact us at connect@humanitiesamped.com for feedback, contributions, or to schedule a training.

Amplified Classrooms
This curriculum contains many practices fundamental to Humanities Amped. It includes a set of Adaptable Methods that can be implemented into any class as well as three curricular frameworks: Critical Participatory Action Research, Youth Development, and Reading the Word, Reading the World.
Standing at the Intersection Workshop Series
This workshop series (SAI), a collaboration with Forward Arts, provides a curricular response to the growing visual documentation of police violence against unarmed black people. These workshops were piloted at McKinley High School and at the East Baton Rouge Public School System Culturally Relevant Pedagogy Professional Development Series (see below).
Culturally Relevant Pedagogy Professional Development Series
The "Culturally Relevant Pedagogy" tab on this site features the resources we used in the fall 2016 day-long professional development sessions that we conducted with local public high school teachers (day 1) and middle school teachers (day 2). These sessions were requested by the East Baton Rouge Parish School System to prepare teachers for mutually respectful, critically necessary conversations with colleagues and students about how our intersecting identities shape our perspectives on and experiences of the world.
COVID-19 RESPONSE AND RESOURCES
Visit these pages to see our online programming and documentation project in response to COVID-19. Despite the need to physically distance to maintain collective health, we remain committed to human connection as well as the physical and social-emotional well-being of our youth and community.
