Featured Resources
When you become a member of the AFT, you help make real solutions for kids and communities a national priority. And we help you by offering educator-designed programs and resources that will enhance your professional growth and ensure children recover and thrive. This brochure highlights many of these opportunities.
Across the United States, educators are mandatory reporters of child abuse and neglect. But reporting rarely helps protect children from harm. We need an alternative model that prioritizes family relationships and addresses family challenges. To facilitate such a transition—from mandatory reporting to mandated support—we must understand our current landscape. Here we present insights from a 2024 national survey with University of California, Irvine, of more than 1,000 school staff, and review data that informs a mandated support agenda: wraparound services, family engagement, student education, professional development and policy change.
Teaching students to read is one of the most important things we do as educators. Reading Universe can help. You'll find ready-to-use teaching strategies, in-classroom videos, interviews with teachers and reading experts, and quick, concrete answers to common questions about teaching reading and writing. And it's all free!
