Who’s an essential worker? Who decides?

This curriculum guide uses design and art as tools for research and investigation.You can use these lessons to explore how essential workers are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, who benefits from their work, and how they can have more of a say over their working conditions.

This curriculum is designed for educators and students engaged in distance learning. Each lesson can be easily adapted for different levels of access to technology. You can use these activities individually, or as a series.
