Manifesto

We believe that education should be a place of inquiry, not fear—of creativity, not control—of empowerment, not erasure. Across the country, schools are being stripped of their ability to teach history honestly, reflect the diversity of their students, and foster the kind of critical thinking that builds a just and democratic society. ICE raids are happening inside classrooms, creating fear and instability that disrupt learning. Teachers are facing burnout at unprecedented levels, stretched thin by a system that demands more while offering less. Well-being is no longer an afterthought—it is essential for both educators and students. Since 2017, Amplifier has worked in the gray spaces of education, ensuring that when official pathways are blocked, teachers still have the art and tools they need to teach what they know is right. When policies silence certain narratives, we help educators restore representation—on their walls, in their lesson plans, and in the spaces where students discover who they are. When students are told their history, their culture, their struggles, and their triumphs don’t belong, we make sure they see themselves in their classrooms. We are part of a network of tens of thousands of educators and artists, and millions of students, working to keep classrooms places of curiosity, resilience, and truth. Our 1,000+ free artworks and 50+ lesson plan bank help teachers bring these conversations to life, offering students the tools to think critically, build compassion, and take action. In every classroom, in every student who sees themselves reflected in the world around them, this work continues. Together, we amplify the voices that must be heard.

Education Amplifier lesson plans are accessible to and adaptable for any educator in middle and high school (grades 6 through 12). These lesson plans are an opportunity for students to join the national conversation around each issue area. However, educators at any grade level (including college) are invited to participate in the Education Amplifier program as they see fit, adapting curriculum and concepts for their students’ levels and using our free art downloads (available on this website) to spark interdisciplinary discussions around a variety of topics.

Amplifier’s content library spans the liberal arts, social studies, arts education, environmental studies, mental health and social-emotional wellness, and even STEAM subjects. We’re adding new content all the time, so be sure to register for our mailing list to stay up to date on the latest additions!

Allow students the opportunity to come up with their own conclusions about what our individual identities look like and how our differences could create a collective American identity. One of the cornerstones of American democracy is our freedom to question, criticize, and form our own opinions. Modeling this in a classroom means asking open-ended questions that pertain to the subject matter without interjecting your own opinions.

The most crucial conversations that will shape the future of America aren’t happening in the Capitol, but rather in our classrooms. Educators are informing, developing, and empowering the leaders of tomorrow. The images represented in Amplifier campaigns serve as a reminder of how our unique individual backgrounds help to create our collective identity. Appreciation and understanding of uncommon ground is even more important than the finding of common ground. These conversations in the classroom can help to promote an inclusive classroom and school culture, challenge the rising levels of intolerance and bigotry being perpetuated in the media and on school campuses, and empower the leaders of tomorrow to build an equitable society.

To create a brave space for all students to share and learn, you can co-create a list of norms with your students that will maintain a space of respect and provide opportunities to hold each other accountable. A “brave space” is an environment where students accept and celebrate difference, assume the best intentions of each other, and accept responsibility of affecting the emotional well-being of another person.

The Education Amplifier program, and Amplifier itself, are nonpartisan. None of the art or campaigns promote a specific ideological or political belief system to students. These critical conversations have been taught and promoted by both conservatives and liberals, and engage students not in a debate over politics, but instead in dialogue around human rights, respect, dignity, and resiliency.
