Here's what leading educators have said about the Planning to Change the World series:

An imaginative and innovative idea in the field of education...I hope it will be widely adopted.
Howard Zinn, author of A People’s History of the United States

Finally, a plan book that is enlightening, provocative and fun.
Lisa Delpit, author of Other People’s Children

After 18 years in the classroom I have found a planning book that treats teaching as an art form.  On virtually every page of this book, I find myself challenged and inspired to think more deeply about the importance of what I do every day in the classroom.
Jeff Duncan-Andrade, Assistant Professor of Raza Studies and Education Administration at San Francisco State University and high school teacher

Are you planning to change the world? Before you change it, take a look at Planning to Change the World. It  might be just the help you were looking for.
Bob Moses, founder of the Algebra Project 


This book is one of the gifts I give new teachers.

Linda Christensen, author of Reading, Writing, and Rising Up

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 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

Useful, hopeful and visionary, Planning to Change the World is just what every radical teacher needs. 

Wayne Au, Rethinking Schools
