Healthcare. Education. Immigration. Climate change. Voting rights. Economic inequality. LGBTQ rights. War. Mass incarceration. The future of democracy.
The 2020 presidential election is raising critical issues – especially for young people.
But how much are students really learning about the issues that will help shape their futures? Despite the nonstop election news, how much are any of us really learning, beyond details of the candidates’ personalities and past scandals?
This election is a major teachable moment for young people – and a huge opportunity for learning. But will teachers be able to take advantage of it?
The answer depends on you.
We are inviting you to be our partner in providing teachers across the country with free, informative classroom activities on 2020 election issues. To engage students in the decisions that will shape their lives, please give now to the Teach2020 Fund!
Our Teach 2020 goal: Raise $20,000 to create a series of lessons on key election issues, from immigration to climate change.
The lessons and activities we create will be posted throughout the election season on Morningside Center’s powerful lessons platform, TeachableMoment, which is used by half a million people each year. Before the primary and the general election, lessons will be packaged into a handy pdf that we’ll distribute for free.
Your Teach 2020 contribution will help cover the cost of writing, editing, posting, and distributing lessons that will spark learning, discussion, and engagement in middle and high school classrooms across the country and beyond.
Donate $150 or more and get our beautiful Teach for Joy and Justice tote bag!
Thank you for helping to make this critical teachable moment come alive for young people in classrooms across the country!
