On Monday, February 3, Inspired Teaching Demonstration PCS 1st through 5th graders participated in a community meeting to kick off the Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action.

As part of the 2020 Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action, Teaching for Change was able to donate children’s books to the school libraries at several schools in Wards 7 and 8 as part of a generous grant from the Horning Family Fund in coordination with the DCPS Partnerships team.

Thanks to the generosity of several publishers, educators received free books for use in their classrooms at several events leading up to the 2020 Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action, including the Black Lives Matter at School Curriculum Fair.

On January 21, 2020, educators from D.C., Maryland, and Virginia came together for a Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action Curriculum Fair hosted by Teaching for Change and the Howard University School of Education. More than 150 participants crowded the rooms and hallways of Howard University’s historic Miner building.

K-12 teachers are invited to learn about Indigenous knowledge, sustainability practices, and the importance of water. Attend poster or workshop sessions and explore classroom resources from Native Knowledge 360° and the Zinn Education Project’s Teach Climate Justice campaign.
