Supporting Students, Staff & Communities Amidst Devastating Violence in Israel & Gaza

2023-10-25T14:43:56-05:00

On behalf of the Illinois Resource Center, our thoughts are with all of the members of our school communities impacted by the devastating violence over the past few weeks in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank. Our hearts are heavy as we witness all of this grief, and we want our educators who are also scared and grieving to know – you are not alone, we see you.  Locally, we grieve with and for the family, friends and the Plainfield community following the horrific murder of six-year-old Wadea al-Fayoume. A fundraiser to support Wadea’s family can be found here. Our vision [...]

Protecting & Affirming the Freedom to Read in Illinois and Beyond

2023-08-02T15:53:36-05:00

The Illinois Resource Center applauds Illinois state leadership for taking action to safeguard students’ freedom to read, and the hard work of educators, library workers and advocates nationwide who have been pushing back against the wave of book bans. So why talk about book bans now, after it seems legislatively decided? Although we [...]
