About the Teach In
Educators from across the country including a cohort of past and present Teachers of the Year and several NEA members, like 2018 RI Teacher of the Year Kristin Hayes-Leite will be traveling to El Paso, TX for a Teach-In for Freedom to demand the U.S. government end the detention and criminalization of immigrant children and their families.
TheTeach-In for Freedom will be live streamed and broadcast across YouTube, Facebook, and other media outlets. A teacher from each state (preference given to a Teacher of the Year) will prepare a short block of instruction on child incarceration, child detention, trauma, immigration, human rights, etc.
