From Executive Director Aleta Margolis:

Aleta Margolis
Executive Director
Center for Inspired Teaching

At this year's special 20th anniversary celebratory gala, Chocolate Inspiration,
 I was delighted to present Inspired Teaching's Changemaker Award [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0016_3YTsQ8CHzcrEINATkjOzSCYOqUV4s5rEh7euH8xUTHmX6AZr3i2wO7n2M3F6RpNKwgJVTyghCSz0cxb08b_x49aJZoTz1WfksYsAdzpRVQsZMJfhE_adJ835I9XlZg_wZEto0k9JxLk2QQ2FPiuYonH4WjLdYPLP4AapZoAyxxNnZksowRKzo1F-Xv5o4Qe7KkCEKnv0ZqAjiXIMba_fdZaJVrnwl0hCJ27UIgRPsnqxfUW3NKwc_vXem0ZISy230bConCYz_oTVQECiAsbzOF5-Q7GnyPAYyE1hMf-8WygDQ3zOtKTUduUczfwjE4XB7leMBK0Dc=&c=7Zw5O1ybaObNL_mwrGWgSXjt0ulSz7hmpI7j_afSrKEXhPBiOK__jg==&ch=e6sdyrMYAEl02TwyxUDNpWnCWjILXV_yP96Tj0JKx-4d5ZuoUiSCmA==]
to Jonathan Kozol. As a prolific author and prominent activist, Jonathan has inspired
thousands upon thousands of educators and parents - myself included - to fight for
a brighter future and a more just present for all children in the United States.
 He has demanded that we step outside our comfort zones and confront the complex
 problems of poverty, racism, and educational inequality. While remaining fiercely
committed to challenging the status quo, he has never lost his respect for teachers
or his deep love for children. Our work at Center for Inspired Teaching is proudly
founded upon the same values.

PREPARE
new teachers for successful & sustainable careers

"In the fall, as a part of an assignment for a special education course, my cohort
of Inspired Teaching Fellows and I conducted observations at the Homeless Children's
Playtime Project (HCPP), housed at the DC General Homeless Shelter.
I worked with Dr. Meghan Cosier, Associate Professor of Special Education at Trinity,
to create a differentiated lesson plan to be taught on the playground to young students
facing homelessness and poverty in DC. In designing the lesson, I was careful not
to restrict students' autonomy, as the spirit of the HCPP encourages children's 
creativity and values free exploration."

Jonathan Kozol speaks with students at the Inspired Teaching Demonstration School.

On April 21, author and activist Jonathan Kozol toured the Inspired Teaching Demonstration

After visiting several classrooms, Jonathan sat down with the school's teaching 
and administrative staff for a conversation [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0016_3YTsQ8CHzcrEINATkjOzSCYOqUV4s5rEh7euH8xUTHmX6AZr3i20R3KnITNTUMpqJSB8EY2cJx0A5DRZADspN-ggTrbrQKglOj0xTHQYqnsyryXSn2l3ACJSTM0VsQtslhgCAVmnIKrPtxGWXI1LalhWfiuglHXNf1O_pk-62pV6nJisoeANzJlv89x469Xpxgte01d7oVN00xe8iEwe38rA50kV_SYkdEh9ZOW_VF5CXH3epZgCMTPlV-7ozcp4tIM7AY4XJzZGzllvhu0nwGpXfuNTKyHtF3aFuTVHfDTaPh-EkMit2UOM0aShFT&c=7Zw5O1ybaObNL_mwrGWgSXjt0ulSz7hmpI7j_afSrKEXhPBiOK__jg==&ch=e6sdyrMYAEl02TwyxUDNpWnCWjILXV_yP96Tj0JKx-4d5ZuoUiSCmA==]

work the school is doing.

A Real World History student leads his peers on a tour of his internship site, The

students are demonstrating the skills they've developed at their internships by 
leading tours of these sites. At Tudor Place, a student now leads weekly tours for
the public; at The Woodrow Wilson House, a student taught his peers about the life
of the presidential resident through a private tour; and at the National Museum 
of American History, students created a tour designed for adolescents, which they
recently debuted for Real World History students and members of Smithsonian Secretary
Skorton's staff.
