Teaching for Change’s work began decades ago with teacher committees in solidarity with Central America. We developed lessons and workshops to address the scarcity of resources in the K–12 curriculum. Those resources are now available online at our Teaching Central America site for year round access. To focus attention on the region during Latinx Heritage Month, we host Teach Central America Week (first week of October.)
We are delighted to share updates on our program and also invaluable new resources from our colleagues, including a 14-minute film on El Salvador by Pablo Leon, story maps on contemporary topics such as the Afro-Indigenous Garifuna people and the truth about President Bukele, and new books for middle school to adult.
In this award-winning, classroom-friendly, 14-minute animated film by Pablo Leon, a journalist documents the experiences of three people who lived through the tragic 12-year-long Salvadoran Civil War in the 1980s.
The film explores themes of childhood loss and violence against women and the Indigenous population. Storytelling and memory offer hope for the future. View Film
