Teacher activism

Teacher activism refers to educators advocating for changes that improve education, working beyond the classroom to influence policies, funding, and practices. It involves speaking out on issues like student rights, equitable funding, curriculum standards, and working conditions, often through protests, petitions, or collaborations with communities. Teacher activism aims to foster positive reforms that benefit students and the education system as a whole, emphasizing the role of teachers not just as educators, but as participatory citizens committed to social and systemic improvements.
