Dear Educators,

Planning to Change the World: A Lesson Plan Book for Social Justice Teachers 2012-2013 (www.justiceplanbook.com) is a plan book for educators who are committed to integrating ideas of social justice into their classroom. Educators like you.

But in these tough times, why spend a few extra dollars on this plan book when you can get a generic one from Staples? We'll let educators who have used earlier editions answer the question for us:

This book understands that education is freedom and makes me feel supported in the classroom by reminding me that I'm not alone in my struggles for social justice.
Samantha, middle school teacher

I love it from a pure nuts and bolts perspective (it's a good plan book), AND I love that something that I use daily provides inspiration to look deeper.
Kendra, preschool teacher

It is portable--works even when the computers are down and recognizes the importance of many movements and social justice struggles as well as the victories.
Patricia, high school teacher

I love it! The alternative plan books for elementary school are over the top "cute" and have no reminders of social justice. Thanks so much for doing it.
Erika, elementary school teacher

I enjoy the content and the stories, and LOVE the quotes/pictures. They motivate me throughout the week! I also love the Awards section--they are appropriate for even for the less politically-minded programs I work with.
Tina, after-school program coordinator

I LOVE THE DESIGN! The organization and space to write out my agenda and objectives for each day. I also like the photos and quotes from people whose stories were not heard in any of my history classes growing up.
Amy, middle school teacher

I love the dates and classroom ideas. This is one of the most amazing resources for social justice I have ever used, and I teach 1st grade.
Debbie, elementary school teacher

I appreciated how it kept the history of the struggle for justice alive...that is, in my face...every day.
Mario, high school teacher

From day to day it is difficult to remember the bigger picture. With this I confront it every day in a beautiful and inspiring way. This is a really amazing resource.
Chelsea, pre-service teacher

Comprehensive, hopeful, and helpful.
Barbara, college instructor

In the words of Anayah, a teacher from Brooklyn:
The plan book is what's up. Get one if you haven't already.
