Teachers' Guides

Beacon Press has developed a selection of teachers' guides with discussion questions and suggested classroom activities. Titles are organized by fiction/nonfiction and alphabetized by author's last name within those categories.

We also offer reading group guides, many of which can be adapted for classroom use, and discussion guides for Unitarian Universalist congregations.
