With a 10,000-strong network of educators and community members, Teaching for Change is critical to grassroots education reform in our region. Mounting attacks on teaching truth in schools – book bans, laws against Critical Race Theory, and policies restricting the rights of LGBTQ+ students – pressure more educators to leave the profession now than ever. Teaching for Change supports them with free professional development, meaningful connections, and social justice curricular resources. Its Zinn Education Project brings the history of working people, people of color, and organized social movements into the classroom using multicultural books. Teach the Beat introduces students to DC’s unique tradition of go-go music. And it offers the nation’s only resource on teaching Central American history and literature for K-12 educators. At Teaching for Change, justice begins with the freedom to learn.
