“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
 
 
“…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

"Finally, 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.  Some of the greatest gifts we receive in our lives are the tools that help us chisel the path to freedom, justice, and equity for ourselves and our communities. Thank you for sharing this tool with me so that I might keep chipping away at that path."
–Jeff Duncan-Andrade, Assistant Professor of Raza Studies and Education Administration and Interdisciplinary Studies at San Francisco State University and high school teacher
