Teaching for Change is partnering with Filmfest DC: The Washington, D.C. International Film Festival (June 4-13) for a tenth year to spread the word about the international film festival and to bring films and filmmakers for several films into D.C. virtual classrooms.

On Saturday, April 17th, the DCAESJ People’s History Curriculum Working Group met to reflect on fugitive pedagogy, try out a new lesson on Brown v. Board, and to foster community care.

The library at Claremont Immersion, a bilingual Spanish-English elementary school in Arlington, Virginia, hosted two special literature events this November to celebrate Indigenous cultures and languages with the school community.

The people of D.C. are in collective grief and mourning on the death of Washington Teacher Union president Elizabeth “Liz” A. Davis in a car accident on April 4, 2021. She has been a powerful presence in the lives thousands of students, teachers, and families through her unwavering dedication to radical teaching, righteous activism, and grassroots organizing.

Thanks to support from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, Teaching for Change can schedule artists for remote classroom visits.
