As we approach the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, join AFT President Randi Weingarten for a timely conversation with educator and bestselling author Sharon McMahon on her new book, We Are Mighty. Known as “America’s Government Teacher,” McMahon brings to life the stories of everyday Americans whose courage and persistence have helped shape our democracy. Join AFT, Albert Shanker Institute and Share My Lesson for a  June book club exploring how these stories connect to today’s classrooms—and how educators, school staff and community members can support civic learning, critical thinking and student engagement.
