This article describes an assignment for a secondary education course in which students compiled curriculum resource guides on ability, class, sexual identity, gender identity, and race/ethnicity. Student groups presented at least twenty resources, with no more than four resources of the same medium. Resources included videos, books, guest speakers, organizations, websites, music, and art. This assignment helped students expand their knowledge of current sociopolitical issues in education and provided for the development of resource guides that could be used in their future teaching practices. For this annotated resource guide, authors researched and compiled appropriate resources provided by the students. Also included are additional resources as deemed relevant to this collective guide. The course context and the course theoretical framework are explained, and a variety of resources that K-12 teachers may use when considering issues of ability, class, sexual identity, gender identity, and race/ethnicity within the context of their classroom curricula are presented.
