Ask Me About Campaign
Teaching for Change’s “Ask Me About” campaigns are designed to draw attention to key issues that are often left out of the curriculum. The campaigns are launched during a heritage month with the goal of encouraging instruction about the issue all year long. Each campaign has provocative buttons to promote interest in the issue and free online resources. We invite people to contribute $10 for the buttons to help fund the free online resources.
Ask Me About: The Committed Generation
More than 3 million Central Americans reside in the United States today, yet the resources in most schools on Latino heritage make the rich history and literature of the region invisible. Therefore, for Latino/Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 – Oct. 15, 2012), Teaching for Change launched Ask me about: The Committed Generation to support and encourage teaching about Central America. The COMMITTED GENERATION were a group of Central American activist writers from the latter half of the 20th century.
Ask Me About: Freedom Schools
Why Freedom Schools? Teaching for Change advocates for the type of learning and pedagogy used in Freedom Schools during the modern Civil Rights Movement. A study of Freedom Schools can take students beyond the few names and events that are recycled in classrooms and the media every year during Black History Month.
