Rethinking Schools is a nonprofit publisher and advocacy organization dedicated to sustaining and strengthening public education through social justice teaching and education activism. Our magazine, books, and other resources promote equity and racial justice in the classroom. We encourage grassroots efforts in our schools and communities to enhance the learning and well being of our children, and to build broad democratic movements for social and environmental justice.

The FIRST event in our Teach & Organize series, a free, virtual quarterly workshop where radical educators and community leaders can exchange ideas and best practices for incorporating social justice principles into your classrooms, unions, and communities.
Rethinking Schools hosts a panel conversation featuring the author of Amazing Iowa Scientists, Katy Swalwell, and high school educator Elizabeth “Lizzie” Zondo to discuss teaching strategies that encourage students to research local histories.
The conversation will focus on approaches to teaching local history through storytelling, research, and placed-based learning. The session will also include breakout conversations where attendees can collaborate, reflect on their own practice, and brainstorm ways to implement and adapt these strategies in their classrooms.
Participants will need access to Zoom. Register for the Zoom link.
Date: Tuesday, July 21st
Time: 11 am PST/ 1 pm CST/ 2 pm EST
The event is free. To make events like this available to more educators and activists, we would greatly appreciate your solidarity donation.

This issue’s editorial and several articles help educators think critically about how to teach the American Revolution by uplifting Black, Indigenous, and working class voices too often left out of the official story. And SO Much more!
