“We are not rebels and revolutionaries, but humans who will no longer be denied our humanity.”
- Marcus Garvey DEDICATED TO With heavy hearts and deep love, we dedicate this year’s plan book to Antonio Nieves Martinez—our cherished friend and forever comrade in the struggle for justice. A scholar, organizer, and activist, Antonio co-founded the People’s Education Movement in 2012 and served as a Board member for the Education for Liberation Network for many years. His legacy is refected in the continued work of the countless community members he mentored, and we commit to carrying forward his fght for educational spaces that are liberatory, human, and restorative. Because he worked so hard to educate and organize teachers to change the world, we are proud to dedicate this year’s book in his name.

©2018, Education for Liberation Network 2 Planning to Change the World is a plan book for teachers who believe their students can and do create meaningful social change. It is produced by the Education for Liberation Network, and is published in partnership with Rethinking Schools. The information and ideas featured on its pages come from teachers, college students and activists who, like you, struggle daily to put their values into practice. As educators, our vision of teaching for liberation often gets buried under the everyday realities of teaching. Bombarded with paperwork, tests and curriculum mandates, we feel frustrated, overwhelmed, alone.
This plan book is designed to help teachers translate their visions of a just education into concrete classroom activities. It is both a daily reminder of the importance of teaching for justice and a collection of tools to help you do just that. Planning to Change the World is packed with important social justice birthdays and historical events, words of wisdom from visionary leaders, lesson plans, resources, social justice education happenings and more.
It also connects you to a national community of educators who are interested in social justice teaching. In this book we hear from teachers like you who care about their students, respect them, and think that young people can, will and already do change the world – teachers who believe it is their job to create classrooms in the image of the world we want. This plan book was created to make that job just a little easier by helping you turn your daily lesson planning into strategies for teaching toward democracy, justice, freedom and peace.
In this edition, we also include a special feature on 15 Everyday Ways to Affrm Trans and Gender Nonconforming (TGNC) Students. As we painfully recognize the hostility, intolerance, and lack of safety experienced daily by our TGNC young people, we wish to empower educators with everyday ways to create spaces of refuge for these students in our classrooms and schools, where they can instead experience authentic inclusion, recognition, and an embrace of their full humanity and identities. We are tremendously grateful to the group of educator-activists who co-authored this invaluable guide and resource for our community.
We hope, as we do each year, that this edition of the plan book provides you a small bit of support, uplift, and inspiration each day of your school year. Thank you for planning to change the world.
In Love, Struggle, and Solidarity, Gretchen, Thomas, Carla, and Margaret
The Education for Liberation Network (www.edliberation.org) is a national coalition of teachers, community activists, youth, researchers and parents who believe a good education should teach people—particularly low-income youth and youth of color—to understand and challenge the injustices their communities face. The network aims to help improve the practice of Education for Liberation by bringing people together to learn from each other’s experiences.
Education for Liberation Network would like to thank our fscal sponsor, the Chicago Freedom School, and our distributor, Rethinking Schools. We also thank the following people for their vital assistance in creating this edition: Tracy Buenavista, Cati de los Rios, Ron Espiritu, and Bree Picower.

4 First, a note about the dates featured in this book. There are so many events and people that could be included in a planner like this, we had to fnd a way to narrow the possibilities. So for this calendar, we chose signifcant anniversaries and birthdays, which generally means (with a few exceptions) anniversaries/birthdays that fall on the 10-year mark (e.g. 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the 120th anniversary of the Plessy v Ferguson decision).
The weekly planning pages include several special features: Essential Question: A question you can use to start a discussion Religious and with your students Social justice birthdays federal holidays and historical events
