Dear Educator,
Don't forget--Monday, July 1 is the last day to order for a discount price Planning to Change the World, the awesome lesson plan book for social justice teachers. Visit http://www.justiceplanbook.com to learn more and purchase a copy.
Planning to Change the World is a plan book designed to help you translate your vision of a just education into concrete classroom activities.
Does your lesson plan book offer you:
The story of how teachers organized the anti-testing protest in Seattle?
Information about dozens of important anniversaries in the struggle for social justice during the 2013-2014 school year such as the March on Washington (50th anniversary), Haiti's independence from France (210th anniversary), the first organized resistance to the draft by Japanese people in WWII internment camps (70th anniversary), the establishment of the first and only university for the deaf (150th anniversary), Brown vs. Board of Education (50th anniversary), Massachusetts becoming the first state to legalize gay marriage (10th anniversary), the first state to allow girls into Little League (40th anniversary) and the Zapatista uprising in Mexico (20th anniversary)?
References to online resources and lesson plans to teach about all those things?
Reproducible awards that recognize students for achievements such as "speaking up in the name of justice" or "using knowledge to make a difference"?
Quotes from inspirational leaders and activists such as Saul Alinsky, Bayard Rustin, Malcolm X, Harvey Milk, Susan B. Anthony, Audre Lorde, Ella Baker, Isabel Allende, Vine Deloria, Martín Espada, Jose Martí, Mariam Makeba, Vandana Shiva and Grace Lee Boggs?
A list of organizations where you can connect with other social justice teachers or find more teaching resources?
An opportunity to invest in three social justice education organizations (all proceeds from the plan book support the New York Collective of Radical Educators, the Education for Liberation Network and Rethinking Schools)?
Shouldn't it?
