Description

"We are K-12 teachers alarmed by the rise of illiberal agendas in education, working to restore integrity and quality to our profession.

To that end, we apply these principles:

• Pedagogy, Not Ideology

We reject narrow and divisive identity-based frameworks for learning. We seek instead to broaden perspectives for our students, not only in regards to what they should know about the world, but also in the way they see themselves.

In our teaching, we promote an understanding of human experience in its full complexity, in order to rebuild a healthy civic culture in a pluralistic society. We foster not only viewpoint diversity, but narrative diversity as well.

We further commit to best practices in teaching—based on solid research—over trendy approaches conceived of and promoted by politically extremist educational theorists."
