Social Justice Schools Meeting
Saturday, October 18th, 2008
This meeting will give social justice schools an opportunity to begin building relationships with each other and to learn how to confront the challenges they face collectively. This event is free. We encourage you to bring representatives from across the school community—teachers, administrators, students, parents, and community-based partners. A limited amount of childcare will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
This meeting is being convened by the Education for Liberation Network, the New York Collective of Radical Educators and the Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition.
Register for this event. |

Lesson plans and resources related to those dates

New York Collective of Radical Educators (NYCoRE) is a group of public school educators committed to fighting for social justice in our school system and society at large, by organizing and mobilizing teachers, developing curriculum, and working with community, parent, and student organizations. We are educators who believe that education is an integral part of social change and that we must work both inside and outside the classroom because the struggle for justice does not end when the school bell rings.
