The Atlanta 1996 Olympic men’s 4x100m relay captured the eyes of the world. It was a showdown between the USA host team and the Canadian underdogs. Few people noticed that the team’s starting runner, Carlton Chambers, was not racing at his best. He had sustained a slight injury and hoped that it would be better for the final. After a discussion with the team, the truth was evident and he knew he had to step down for the good of the team. Fortunately, Robert Esmie was waiting in the wings and ready to fulfill his role as team reserve. The race was an epic moment in Canadian sport history. The gold medal likely would not have been won, except for Carlton’s teamwork.
This resource shows students that teamwork requires that you put the good of the team first. Sometimes that means making personal sacrifices like letting someone else take your spot or play a role you would have liked to play yourself.
Download the complete lesson, featuring the following outcomes: - Identify characteristics of successful teams and team members; - Understand how to practice effective teamwork; - Learn how to take teamwork experiences in the classroom and apply them to everyday challenges.

Sign up for a 45 minute virtual field trip, and follow it up with a classroom unit about human rights and being an upstander. The classroom unit includes an inquiry project.
Virtual Field Trip: Students will learn how to be human rights upstanders by discovering the stories of people who used their personal strengths to take a stand to protect their rights and the rights of others, creating change.
Students will: 1. Learn to identify traits all upstanders possess and understand that each of us also possess these traits in our own unique way. 2. Experience exhibits and the inspiring Museum architecture as if they were at the Museum in person. Interact with a Museum guide and ask questions to better understand how they can take action for positive change. 3. Engage in discussion, critical thinking and reflection on their role in the protection of their own rights and the rights of others.
Classroom Unit: The Be an Upstander resource is a project-based learning unit designed to complement the “Be an Upstander” school program. This resource targets students in middle years and encourages inquiry and action on human rights issues. Students will examine the traits of human rights upstanders and follow their example. By the end of the project, students will have had the opportunity to explore an issue they are personally passionate about, share their knowledge and lead others toward action.
The Be an Upstander website is a digital student experience designed to support student learning as part of a larger human rights themed, project-based learning unit. Students developing upstander projects will engage in personal inquiry and action on human rights issues that matter to them. Students will learn about the traits of human rights upstanders, be introduced to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and examine their personal strengths. Following the example of the upstanders they learn about, students will be challenged to take tangible steps to becoming human rights upstanders themselves.
