On July 30th Teacers for Social Justice participated in the Save our Schools March on Washington DC. The march is part of a national movement of teachers, parents, students, and progressive educators who are interested in having a more powerful voice in determining the direction of current educational reform.

2. An end to high stakes testing used for the purpose of student, teacher, and school evaluation
3. Teacher, family and community leadership in forming public education policies
4. Curriculum developed for and by local school communities
