NYCDOE Teach-in
Segregation in Our Schools
A teach-in is a practical, participatory, and action-oriented forum where a specific political or social justice concern is discussed as an opportunity to raise awareness, promote dialogue. With knowledge and multiple perspectives brought by facilitators, panelists, and colleagues we hope to empower those who participate to engage in critical thinking and continuous learning to make informed decisions as it relates to their work and their awareness of the issue at hand: School Segregation.
Led by employees across the DOE who are dedicated to creating a truly anti-racist public education system in New York City. We invite you to join us on Friday, December 18 for a day of discussion and growth.
