Teaching for Change We are pleased to share these photos from the presentation of a quilt of family stories in a Maryland school.
Children and parents at Hyattsville Elementary School in Maryland presented their quilt, "Our Children, Our Hope," at the school's annual winter concert in December, 2009. Each square represents a parent's aspirations for their children. Four parents explained what it m...eant to create the quilt. Parents noted that the quilt provided the opportunity for native English and native Spanish speakers to communicate with each other. The quilt is the first stage of the community building with parents as part of Teaching for Change's Tellin' Stories approach, supported in Maryland schools by the Maryland Parent Information and Resource Center.

Teaching for Change The Zinn Education Project (coordinated by Teaching for Change and Rethinking Schools) has its own Facebook page. Check it out and become a fan.
The Zinn Education Project promotes and supports the use of Howard Zinn’s best-selling book A People’s History of the United States and other materials for teaching a people’s history in middle and high school classrooms across the country. The Zinn Education Project is... coordinated by two non-profit organizations, Rethinking Schools (www.rethinkingschools.org) and Teaching for Change (www.teachingforchange.org). The goal is to introduce students to a more accurate, complex, and engaging understanding of United States history than is found in traditional textbooks and curricula. The empowering potential of studying U.S. history is often lost in a textbook-driven trivial pursuit of names and dates. Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States emphasizes the role of working people, women, people of color, and organized social movements in shaping history. Students learn that history is made not by a few heroic individuals, but instead by people’s choices and actions and therefore students’ own choices and actions also matter. We believe that through taking a more engaging and more honest look at the past, we can help equip students with the analytical tools to make sense of — and improve — the world today.
