I have taught world relgions in Modesto, CA for 20 years. Our course is required for graduation (the ONLY public school district with this requirement!)
Beautiful segment in @cbsthismorning and thrilled to see @mcshep8 leading the piece. I featured her in the chapter Carefully Taught in my book #FaithEd. She and teachers I interviewed around nation model respect of all faiths by teaching about world religions. @BeaconPressBks
@JohansenVikings teacher @mcshep8 was interviewed by CBS' @MoRocca because of her world religions course being featured in the documentary "The Antidote." Check it out: https://t.co/jC5e434keO
Directed by Academy Award nominee (Montclair's own!) @KCornCoop (@JoesViolin) and six-time Emmy Award winner John Hoffman, THE ANTIDOTE is a film about kindness, decency, and the power of community in America.

Want to know how to make an author's day? Buy her book and post a photo of the purchase on Facebook. Thank you! Hard to believe my @BeaconPressBks book #FaithEd is 5 years old. The message remains critical, that we can and need to combat religious bigotry with K-12 education.
@ATT Having major problems AGAIN with the return of last years iPhones (NEXT) Timely return REPEATEDLY REJECTED and I’m being charged $1100!!! EXTREMELY UNHAPPY AND BEYOND FRUSTRATED!!!
Panelists discuss their knowledge and experiences with Sikhism in school curricula. Panelists include @Lindakwert, Modesto World Religions Teacher Sherry McIntyre, & Sikh parents Ruby and Roger Singh.
Have you seen the Ted Talk from Sherry McIntyre from Johansen High on her World Religion class? Check it out. Up next- a documentary on "Kindness in America" filming this week in her classroom. #kindness@MCSSuptNoguchi
#ReligiousLiteracy needed now more than ever: "A commonly accepted narrative is that students are exposed to diverse religious perspectives for the first time while in college. A new study says that the opposite may be true." https://t.co/1Q99WIHVkP @chronicle
A @ifyc study suggests that students discussion & engagement w religious diversity tapers off in college. This is why #ReligiousLiteracy in primary and high school by teachers like @mcshep8@MCS4Kids & S.Jafralie @westmounthigh, & #ERC teacher training @Edumcgill are so valuable! https://t.co/OuGvsy96BQ
