Classrooms Without Borders

Hey, SWPA Educators! Avi and Kate would love to see you at their upcoming Act 48 workshop at Intermediate Unit 1 in Washington County on April 17. Register here to learn more about democracy in Jim Crow America and N**i Germany. https://reg.learningstream.com/reg/event_page.aspx?ek=0080-0031-9fa425ab00fc4e49b9af93a471f787b5

Equality in jobs. Equality in education. Equality in the vote.

This 1946 NAACP ad makes unmistakably clear what was at stake—and how long these demands have been voiced. To understand the Civil Rights Movement, you have to reckon with moments like this, when the meaning of democracy was made explicit.

Marching Down Freedom’s Road is a special opportunity for educators to study this history where it unfolded and return to their classrooms with insight that deepens teaching and learning. Learn more here: https://cwbpgh.org/seminar/marching-down-freedoms-road-a-civil-rights-journey/

Educators who participate in Marching Down Freedom’s Road do more than study history—they bring it back to life for their students.

By connecting Civil Rights history to contemporary questions of justice and democracy, this seminar strengthens classroom practice and deepens students’ capacity for critical thinking, empathy, and civic engagement. Learn more at the Seminars link in our bio.

This is how learning becomes action.
