Educator ResourcesTwo ESJF teachers who returned from the 2023 decolonization study tour in Germany wrote lesson plans highlighting the dignity-affirming work of people from former German colonies resisting colonization and dehumanization. Their fight became part of a solid foundation to continue the growing decolonization movement in Germany today. Click below for the lesson plans.

AdvocacyIn response to SFUSD’s Resource Alignment Initiatives (RAI), the ESJF Board has issued a statement expressing our concern that SFUSD may permanently defund the district’s middle school dual language immersion programs in multiple languages. Dual-language immersion programs, a type of bilingual education, are an effective model for achieving biliteracy. Defunding dual language immersion programs in middle schools would be a significant loss to the SFUSD community as it is counterproductive for children to retain the knowledge and skills learned from K–5 immersion programs. It’ll also neglect the rich resources families from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds bring to the district.
