[RSCT] the planner is what's up

[Tara Mack]

Dear Rethinking Schools Members,

 

Planning to Change the World: A Lesson Plan Book for Social Justice Teachers
2009-2010 is a plan book for teachers 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?

 

I'll let some of the teachers who used the 2008-2009 edition answer that
question for me:

 

Helps to remind you of important people/events that are not covered in
traditional teaching materials.

--John, high school teacher

 

I love not only the layout of the book, but the inspiration it gives me each
day.

--Ruby, middle school teacher

 

I love it. I love that everyone at school knows it's mine.

--Ellen, elementary school teacher

 

I was so satisfied with the content, and I thought all of the ideas were
fantastic! I also really liked the layout, and I thought that it worked well
for my purposes.

--Sarah, elementary school teacher

 

As I planned I was able to keep my goal of empowering students in mind..I
LOVED the awards in the back. I used them!

--Wanda, elementary school teacher

 

I thought it was very well organized and the information about various
cultures was awesome.It doesn't give you the complete story behind every
noted day, which makes you go and research the information yourself.

--Tom, high school teacher

 

The issues linked to specific dates gives you a "reason" to bring up a
topic. Another strength is the links to lessons.

--Wendy, middle school teacher

 

There are many powerful things about it...the weekly quote, the amazing
resources for special days, the notations of important dates and people.

--Elizabeth, Ohio Department of Education consultant

 

Now is the best time to order. You can purchase one today for the discount
price of $14 per book plus shipping and handling ($13 for orders of 10 or
more). The deadline for the special discount period is Friday, July 24.
Visit www.justiceplanbook.com for more information and to place your order.

And one more important thing--when you buy Planning to Change the World, you
are not only getting a great resource, you are supporting the work of two
important social justice education organizations--the New York Collective of
Radical Educators and the Education for Liberation Network. A way better use
of your money than lining the pockets of corporate executives at Staples.

 

In the words of Anayah, a teacher from Brooklyn:

The planner is what's up. Get one if you haven't already!

 

'Nuff said.

Tara
