"Power concedes nothing without a demand." Teach Different with Frederick Douglass

What is the best way to persuade those in power to make concessions? Sometimes progress only happens when people demand change. Unless those in power are pressured to act in equitable ways, they will take advantage of their authority and pursue selfish ends. Sometimes, though, internal self-reflection of those who hold power can also drive transformative change. Progress often hinges on the dual forces of external demand and internal self-reflection. Join Steve and Dan Fouts – founders of Teach Different and twin brothers with over 50 years of teaching experience – along with Donna Limper- middle school special education teacher and Issues & Advocacy Director of the League of Women Voters of Roselle-Bloomingdale, to discuss the importance of self-advocacy, enriched by the Teach Different Method.
