Here's what leading educators have to say about Planning to Change the World 2009-2010:
…an imaginative and innovative idea in the field of education. It is something that teachers all over the country who have social consciences will find useful because it will give them an opportunity and a framework for putting into practice what they believe. I hope it will be widely adopted.
–Howard Zinn, author of A People’s History of the United States
Every teacher needs a plan, and teachers who view themselves as agents of change need tools to enhance their practice and maximize the impact of their work. Planning to Change the World is a practical resource that can help teachers be more than merely effective practitioners; it can serve as a guide for approaching teaching in a way that is truly transformative.
–Pedro Noguera, author of City Schools and the American Dream
To create a more just and equitable world we need new ways of engaging and working together; new ways to name and interrupt systemic oppression. To support this work we need new tools that are as practical as they are thoughtful. This social justice planner is one of those tools!
–Tony Smith, Superintendent, Oakland Unified School District
In our daily work, teachers need their feet on the ground and their eyes on the
horizon. Planning to Change provides both: A practical place to record our plans
and a weekly reminder that we need keep bending the curriculum towards justice.
This book is one of the gifts I give new teachers.
–Linda Christensen, author of Reading, Writing, and Rising Up

–Wayne Au, Rethinking Schools
Planning to Change the World, for me, is an integration of the multitude of elements that I have tried to combine…to make my classroom a transformative environment. The advantage of having all of these pieces embodied in one book…is immeasurable.
Planning to Change the World was created by the New York Collective of Radical Educators and the Education for Liberation Network .
