Teaching for Change
Intended for educators and families teaching social justice topics in pre‑K through 12th grade.
Teaching for Change is a powerful resource for families who want to bring social justice, anti-bias work, and honest history into their homeschool. The site curates booklists, lesson ideas, and articles that foreground voices traditionally marginalized in curricula, with special attention to race, class, and activism. Through projects like the Zinn Education Project (run with Rethinking Schools), it offers classroom-tested lessons on topics such as civil rights, immigration, and resistance movements that can be adapted for older kids at home. Parents appreciate the vetted recommendations and concrete strategies for facilitating challenging conversations, not just abstract calls to “be inclusive.” Many resources are free, while some books and guides are for sale, making it possible to start small and build over time. As with any heavy topic, we recommend reading ahead and pacing discussions based on your child’s age and emotional bandwidth.
Most online articles, lesson ideas, and downloadable resources are free; books, curricula, and professional development are purchased separately through the Teaching for Change bookstore and partners.
