Since October 7, the Teach Palestine Project (TPP) has been flooded with requests from educators asking for support teaching about what’s happening in Gaza and throughout Palestine. They are requesting accurate sources of information, age-appropriate resources, and strategies for creating safe and inclusive learning environments for all students. TPP has led dozens of workshops and worked with scores of teachers and teacher leaders, as well as adding Gaza-specific curriculum and resources to the website. TPP priorities are protecting all students, especially Palestine, Arab and Muslim youth who have been traumatized by events in Gaza and often by the response of their schools; and supporting teachers with content, pedagogy and community.

On January 20, almost 100 teachers and teacher leaders from throughout California and beyond attended TPP’s in-person conference in Oakland, California,?Teaching to the Moment: 75 Years of Resistance, Resilience and Sumood. Workshops included “Supporting Palestinian and Arab Youth in Schools,” “Connecting to Palestine Through Hip-Hop and Art,” “Teaching Gaza—Multiple Narratives and International Law Frameworks,” “Teaching Palestine in Elementary School,” and many more.
