Reviews of United States History in Reverse: School-to-Prison Pipeline  and  Re-Imagine Education (RiEd)

Re-Imagine Education encourages teachers to engage students in what bell hooks calls œeducation as the practice of freedom. Their exciting and deeply thoughtful curricula challenges students to claim agency in their own learning and to become critical young scholars who apply their knowledge in ways that make the world around them more socially just. It is clear that RiEd is committed to seeing classrooms become transformative spaces where students are equipped with the tools needed to be change agents and movement makers in their schools, communities and beyond.

– Garrett Naiman, EdD, Executive Director, UC Berkeley Center for Educational Partnerships

 

Re-Imagine Education (RiEd) recognizes all education as inherently political. As teachers with years of experience in teaching and activism, they are committed to helping students develop the competencies of self-knowledge, multicultural awareness, critical social analysis, and sociopolitical engagement. Their ultimate goal is to support all students and enable them to act against social injustice in their lives and future professions. This is a courageous and compassionate undertaking and I have the utmost confidence that RiEd is up to the task. If I had a school-aged child, I would settle for nothing less than the excellence RiEd brings to the leveraging of education as a tool of transformation.

– Robin DiAngelo, PhD educator and author of “White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism.

 

Finally! A relevant, rigorous and engaging social studies curriculum that examines the racial, socioeconomic, hetero-patriarchal, geopolitical landscape which calls students in and encourages them to become agents of change.

– Tiffany Williams, Director of Equity & Inclusion for Hiawatha Academies Charter School Network
