The Student-Affirming Education Needed for Our Children and Our Nation's Future

Released by the award winning educators of the National Network of State Teachers of the Year’s Voices for Honest Education as attacks on honest education threaten the future of K-12 education, this report outlines expert research and data on why accurate and student-affirming education practices need implementation across the nation.

We wrote this report for parents, educators, and allies across the country who believe, as we do, that students benefit the most from classrooms in which their identities are valued and their perspectives are heard. But mostly, we wrote this for our students whose voices and brilliance helped us to become better educators and who deserve the very best education we can offer them.
