Teacher Solidarity Study Group
Date: Thursday, October 30, 2025
Time: 5:30-7 pm (CST)
Location: Virtual (Zoom)
Price: Free for members; $15 for non-members
Facilitator: Jane Rothschild
How does this moment of turbulent social change relate to us, as educators? We are starting the Teacher Solidarity Study Group in order to learn and reflect on United States history so that we can try to understand current events and our roles as teachers and change makers in this moment.
We will meet quarterly to discuss selected chapters of Howard Zinn's A Young People’s History of the United States, and our focus will be on ordinary people and grassroots movements that have worked to create political and social change.
Join us for community, learning, and reflection on how history can give us and our students courage to work towards a more just and equitable future. You don’t need to commit to the whole year to attend. We will send you digital excerpts of the book and supplemental materials before our discussions. If you’d rather get your own copy of the book, you can buy it here.
This group was created with adult education teachers, tutors, and administrators in mind, although everyone is welcome!
