Celebrating Partnerships:
Essential Education
Three years ago, we teamed up with Essential Education to provide educators with powerful, socially relevant teaching tools and continue to center student voices. Today, we are incredibly proud to celebrate this impactful partnership, which has allowed us to co-publish multiple dynamic series, combining The Change Agent’s standards-aligned, student-written content with Essential Education’s incredible resources.
We want to extend a massive thank you to the entire team at Essential Education for their generous funding and expert support. Special shoutouts go to Jen Denton and Dannielle Doyle for their invaluable dedication and guidance on our editorial board.
Below, you’ll find an index of all articles across ten issues of The Change Agent co-published with Essential Education, made free with their support. We’re proud of what this partnership has produced, and we can’t wait to keep inspiring students and educators alike for years to come!
