Join NYCoRE for its November General Meeting
This month’s political education piece:
Making Sense of Sandy
Hurricane Sandy has had a massive impact on our community.
UPDATE: We are asking meeting attendees to please read Naomi Klein’s article in The Nation, Superstorm Sandy–a People’s Shock?
The guiding questions for the reading are as follow:
- What is your analysis of the response to the storm and the aftermath?
- How were you, your schools, your students and their families impacted?
- What are the needs you are still seeing in your community and school?
- What should radical educators be doing in response
The following break-out groups are also expected to meet:
– NYQueer Curricular Spotlight
Strategic Read-Alouds: Manufacturing Conversations, “Normalizing” Queer Families
At each monthly NYCoRE meeting, NYQueer will be offering a breakout group that is a mini-workshop with a curricular focus. This month’s breakout is designed for elementary teachers and will emphasize the use of read-alouds that can help you begin introducing LGBTQ themes and/or avoid the pitfalls of a null curriculum in your classroom.
– NYCoRE Annual Conference Planning Group
– A Conversation around Hurricane Sandy
– A New Teacher Discussion Group
For questions, or if you would like to facilitate a breakout group, please e-mail Rosie at Rosie@nycore.org
