Teaching for Change joined many nonprofit and community partners to the D.C. Mayor condemning support of the federal invasion into D.C.

We demand that political leaders stand with the people and against fascism. #FreeDC always ❤️

This #TeacherAppreciationWeek we celebrate the incredible truth teachers/tellers in school classrooms. We also raise attention to the contrast of what is desired and the reality.

We invite our community to dream into ✨the futures we imagine ✨.

We're published! Our 2024 summer interns, Olvin Abrego Ayala and Eli Hertzler-McCain collaborated on a critique of U.S. history textbook coverage of Central America which was published in the spring 2025 edition of @rethinkingschools.bsky.social magazine.

Join us in celebrating our deputy director, Keesha Ceran, as she marks 4 years with Teaching for Change. 🎉 She has profoundly improved our internal operations and program delivery and continues to bring her incredible expertise and enthusiasm to our work. We are grateful for all that you do!

In the D.C. metro area? Join us at the National Portrait Gallery for A Day of Action. It is a perfect afternoon for the family and a chance to meet many great partners, including us!

Our @zinnedproject.bsky.social , in collaboration with Rethinking Schools, supports the teaching of people’s history with free lessons, workshops, online classes, & campaigns to Teach the Black Freedom Struggle, Teach Reconstruction, #TeachClimateJustice, #TeachTruth, & more.

We also coordinate Teach the Beat 🪘🪘🪘(teachthebeat.org) to bring the unique history and music of go-go into D.C. area schools with lessons and teaching artists.

While Teaching for Change is a national organization, we have dedicated place-based work in the D.C. metro area. Our D.C. Area Educators for Social Justice ( @dcaesj.bsky.social ) hosts working groups, public forums, workshops, and more. #DCTeachers #MDTeachers #VAteachers #DMVTeachers

The Civil Rights Movement is one of the most commonly taught stories about the fight for democracy and equal rights. However, the powerful stories of everyday people organizing and working together for social change are lost in the focus on a few major heroes and dates.

Since 1994, we have curated a critically reviewed selection of children’s and young adult books for teachers, first with a mail order catalog for 15 years, a brick-and-mortar store at Busboys and Poets for 10 years, and our online site ever since: SocialJusticeBooks.org #SocialJusticeBooks #KidLit

Teaching for Change began as the Network of Educators’ Committees on Central America (NECCA), a network of teacher groups around the country that formed to support Central American immigrant students and challenge U.S. foreign policy in the region.

Teaching for Change provides educators with tools to create schools where students learn to read, write, and change the world. We offer professional development, develop lessons, curate resources, and host learning communities.
