Nickelodeon and NFHS join the Special Olympics Unified Classroom
Learn to Lead with the #UnifiedGeneration
At the beginning of the school year, Special Olympics Unified Champion Schools® opened the Unified Classroom. By releasing monthly packages of resources, lessons and videos, teachers and parents can ensure that their K-12 students are continuing to build inclusive mindsets from any classroom setting.
The theme of the Unified Classroom for April is Leadership and the #UnifiedGeneration is welcoming partners Nickelodeon and the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) to join in on the conversation.
Unified Talks: Learn and Lead with Nickelodeon
Hosted by youth leaders from all across the country, Unified Talks focus on themes that are at the core of Special Olympics. These videos will captivate student viewers and reveal how they can make change in their community. There will be a mix of storytelling, direct teaching, modeling, and even bloopers.
In this episode of Unified Talks, learn what it means to be an inclusive youth leader with U.S. Youth Ambassadors Sophie and Joey of Special Olympics Nebraska along with the Special Olympics' friends at Nickelodeon! SpongeBob SquarePants, members of the Loud House, The Casagrandes, It's Pony and other Nickelodeon favorites demonstrate what qualities make a good leader and how to unite a team towards a common goal. Also gain an understanding of why it’s also important to follow and let others take the lead. Check out the trailer below and watch the full version on www.generationunified.org.
