A (very) Brief History of Quakers

I really like this video made by a group of students - it's a great thing to share with students of almost any age. It was made by the Young Friends of Richmond, VA.

Thank you, Young Friends of Richmond, VA!

The Quaker Story

 
Sidcot School: The Quaker Story from Sidcot School on YouTube.

This is a really nice sketch notes style video on who Quakers are/were. We share this video with students, teachers, and parents.

It comes from the Sidcot School, an independent day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 3-18 in Somerset, UK.

Tree Poster of Testimonies

We print this in a variety of sizes and have them posted around the school, including individual classrooms, in order to make Quakerism more visible. The poster sized versions allow teachers and students to interact with and refer to the testimonies in a variety of ways and disciplines.

One has the commonly called "SPICES" and the other adds other testimonies.

In our ongoing journey to make Quakerism more visible and more a part of our physical and verbal culture here at our Lower School, we are thrilled to be able to share the above two posters for your classroom display/use/conversations.  Each is a simple representation of the Quaker Testimonies that we most use here – Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, Stewardship.  Our intent is to make the process of displaying and discussing these Testimonies as easy on all of you as possible  You may prefer to create your own version of these Testimonies and that is completely fine.  

We hope that having one of these posters visible in your classroom will inspire frequent conversations and encourage some thinking and sharing!
