Rethinking Schools

Rethinking Schools is a progressive education publisher that produces magazines, books, and classroom lessons centered on social justice, anti-racism, and critical teaching. Their materials help adults move beyond textbook narratives, offering role plays, primary sources, and articles that foreground marginalized voices. Homeschool parents use Rethinking Schools for U.S. history, climate justice, and ethnic studies units, as well as for their own professional development as educators. Individual books and magazine subscriptions cost more than mass-market workbooks but deliver rich, discussion-heavy content that can last for years. Families committed to equity-focused teaching often consider it a cornerstone of their library.
