Bring the New ZEP Organizer to Your City!
|
One of our Zinn Education Project goals for 2018 is to offer workshops that help teachers better use our people's history resources and to knit together a face-to-face network of social justice teachers.
We are accepting requests from sites that would like to convene people's history educators for a workshop, led by Adam Sanchez, our full-time teacher organizer and curriculum writer. Adam is a
Rethinking Schools editor and high school social studies teacher. He has written
numerous articles, including the piece that launched the Zinn Education Project's Teach Reconstruction campaign, titled "
When Black Lives Mattered: Why Teach Reconstruction."
On the workshop request form we indicate a range of people's history topics Adam can address.
Our focus this school year is on the untold story of Reconstruction as a vital example of the struggle for interracial democracy, so that will be our priority when we need to make choices.
