Welcome, Educators!
At Free Spirit, we're committed to providing educators, counselors, and youth workers with information and resources to support young people. Today's kids and teens need many different adults in their corner, and we know that teaching and leading requires skill, energy, and dedication. Your efforts make a difference, and we hope that our books, CD-ROMs, leaders' guides, posters, and other teaching tools help you help the kids in your life.
Here on our site, you can download book excerpts from our award-winning books and useful bonus materials. Link to other sites we know and recommend. Learn which of our books meet specific educational standards and what those standards mean. Read brief profiles of Free Spirit authors. Find out how to arrange for an expert speaker to come to your school or organization. It's our goal to provide you with the best educational resources and materials available.
Please visit often; we're always growing and changing. We'd love to hear from you, and we welcome your suggestions. Email us and let us know what you think.
We are pleased to announce the creation of the Free Spirit Advisory Board. The Board is a diverse group of K–12 teachers, counselors, librarians, administrators, and social workers who provide us with valuable feedback about our products. With the Advisory Board’s input, our books become even more beneficial for kids, teens, and the adults who care about them. To see the list of current members, click here.
Interested in becoming a member? Recruitment is ongoing! For more information about the benefits and responsibilities of membership, download our Free Spirit Advisory Board flyer or a Free Spirit Advisory Board Application.
