During this last leg of the school year, many of us may be aiming to do one of two things: finishing strong or planning ahead. Whichever your goal is, we have the resources and events to help get you there. Take your pick and be well on your way to a great ending.

Send students into summer with an inspirational lesson plan all about Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG). For your ease, everything has been included in this full and complete lesson plan kit: TEKS, enrichment activities, sign language videos and more. We have RBG’s incredible journey, as well as many, many more lesson plans and learning materials ready for you, in our lesson plan library.

High school students looking to become future pioneers in STEM will enjoy the upcoming robotics Build and Play 2021 event. While learning the mechanics of building robotics, students and interested adults are introduced to competitive VEX Robotics. Let your students or children know about this unique weekend event.

Besides these two new offerings, registration for these flagship programs is still open. Click to learn more and sign up now:


If you’re needing a specific resource or planning a special event, please reach out to let us help. The SOC team is ready to assist.
New Lesson Plan: Ruth Bader Ginsburg
For many decades Ruth Bader Ginsburg — commonly known as RBG — fought tirelessly for gender equality. As a Jewish woman and mother, Ruth experienced sexism and discrimination throughout her life and career. RBG co-founded the Women’s Rights Project at ACLU and was the second woman to serve in the U.S. Supreme Court. RBG was a role model for what every young girl, and even every adult woman, is capable of achieving. The legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg lives on, and will for many more years to come. Celebrate that legacy with our new lesson plan based on the book Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The Case of R.B.G. vs. Inequality.
Let's Build and Play Robots!
Join us for the first robotics Build and Play event, June 25-27. For high school students, Build and Play is an introductory event for those interested in robotics and competitive play. Beginners and all levels welcome to attend. Adults can participate too, with training to become a mentor or by sponsoring a VEX robotics team. Be immersed in activities and workshops all about VEX robotics and competition basics, equipping everyone to form their own competitive teams.
Spots are filling up. Check out all of SOC's upcoming events.
We 💙 this excerpt from a recent blog post, from a teacher, Judi Pate, who shares her mother's words of wisdom and how that has impacted her own life. Read more at our blog.
"When I became a deaf education teacher, my mother firmly told me, 'Don’t forget...when you teach a deaf child, you are working with the child’s family, too.'...”

It is the single most important piece of advice that I draw upon. A few years into teaching, I gave birth to a child with hearing loss. I learned to appreciate my mother’s journey through her lens."
