[Tara Mack]

Hello Rethinking Schools Members,

 

Don't forget--Thursday, July 30 is the last day to pre-order Planning to
Change the World, the awesome lesson plan book for social justice teachers,
for a discount price. Visit www.jusitceplanbook.com to learn more and
purchase a copy. After Thursday, the price increases.

 

Planning to Change the World is 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 two student teachers in New York who taught their
first and third grade classes about a campaign in their neighborhood to
protect the waterfront from gentrification?

 

.         Information about dozens of important anniversaries in the
struggle for social justice during the 2009-2010 school year such as: The
release from prison of Nelson Mandela (20th anniversary); the first US
Territory to grant women the right to vote (140th aniversary); the formation
of the Student Non Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) (50th anniversary);
a California court case that determined that schools cannot exclude Chinese
students (125th anniversary); the Occupation of Alcatraz by Native Americans
(40th anniversary); the birth of Emiliano Zapata, the Mexican revolutionary
(130th anniversary); first wheelchair user to be granted a teacher's license
in New York City (40th anniversary); the first gay pride parade (40th
anniversary); the WTO protests in Seattle (10th anniversary) ?

 

.         References to online resources and lesson plans to teach about all
those things?

 

.         The story of a teacher in Oakland who honored Black English in a
way that helped her students master Standard English?

 

.         Reproducible awards that recognize students for acheivements such
as "speaking up in the name of justice" or "using knowledge to make a
difference"?

 

.         A list of organizations where you can connect with other social
justice teachers or find more teaching resources?

 

.         An opportunity to invest in two social justice education
organizations (all proceeds from the plan book support the New York
Collective of Radical Educators and the Education for Liberation Network)?

 

Shouldn't it?
