Welcome to TeachKind, PETA’s humane-education division! Check out TeachKind’s resources and start teaching animal rights now!
TeachKind is the humane education division of PETA for teachers, administrators, and librarians who want to help students become kinder, more compassionate individuals. ♥ We’re here to help schools and educators promote kindness and compassion for animals through free lesson plans, classroom presentations, materials, advice, online resources, and more. Teaching kids to have empathy for all beings is a big step toward building a better, more compassionate world.
Summer break isn’t so fun for “class pets” who have no idea where they’re going or if they’ll be safe 💔🐹 Keeping guinea pigs or other animals in classrooms puts them in stressful environments and leaves their care uncertain when school isn’t in session. Don’t treat living beings like school supplies—they deserve stable, loving homes.
These quotes from our Carly & Ellie tours are proof that children are born with a natural affinity for animals ❤️ When we nurture that compassion, it can grow into a lifetime of kindness.
To wrap up , we visited Stephanie Curson’s school to celebrate our 2026 Teacher of the Year! She’s inspiring the next generation to care for all living beings—and making the world a kinder place. Join us in congratulating her! 🥳👏💙
