Vermont educator Lindsay McQueen shares a unit she constructed with her students at Edmunds Middle School that examines and unpacks ideas around healthy, equity and access. What do we know, or think we know, about what’s "unfortunate", and what’s actually unjust?

Her students used the exercises in this unit to create their own project-based learning around health equity topics, producing PSAs, slideshows, and tackling menstrual inequity.
