Tools & Resources for Anti-Oppression Practice

We’ve curated a collection of resources aligned with member interests to support learning, reflection, and action in anti-oppression and transformative justice work.

These resources include:

  • Lesson Plans. Designed for early education through high school classrooms, as well as for use with school staff. Topics span a wide range of racial and social justice issues.
  • Films. Watch independently or host screenings followed by community dialogue at your school, local or community center.
  • Books. Read or share selections, including chapters for book clubs, affinity groups, workshops, or training courses.
  • Racial and Social Justice Organizations Websites. Explore, learn from and connect with broader movements and ongoing work.
  • Tools and Frameworks. Use as handouts for workshops and trainings, or to deepen your understanding of key concepts and approaches.
  • Articles and Excerpts. Expand your perspective and share with others across learning spaces as you build transformative justice practices.

Use these resources to support collaborative work within your local union, school, and community. We hope they deepen your understanding and strengthen your ability to be an effective, transformative agent of change.

Use all of these resources for collaborative work within your local union, school and community. We hope that the insights you learn from these resources will help to expand your understanding and complement your work so that you can be an effective and transformative agent of change.

If there are additional resources you’d like the MTA to share, please contact us at events@massteacher.org.
