Why We Say Black Lives Matter: Affirming Our Existence in Schools ITAG

August 22, 2016 0 comments

New Inquiry to Action (ITAG) Opportunity! 

Please register for: Why We Say Black Lives Matter: Affirming our Existence in Schools ITAG, if interested or pass along to other networks. An ITAG is an inquiry to action group that meets around a particular concept to engage in political education with the goal of bringing together theory and action. After presenting at TSJ's 2015 Curriculum Fair, David Stovall, Stephanie Hicks and myself wanted to further that conversation beyond that space and work with educators to address anti-Black racism in schools. Participants have developed curriculums, participated in protests and formed other political study groups as part of their action piece in the ITAGS hosted by Teachers for Social Justice and NYCORE in New York. Those are just examples of the many possibilities that may develop from the space. 

So register to come join us as we collectively unpack the ways anti-Blackness shows up in educational spaces and work towards making sure Black children know their lives matter.

This educational after-school event brings together a diverse group of CPS students, Chicago youth leaders, social justice organizations, CPS teachers, and other educators. This event will allow youth and educators to discuss how the events outside of school can and should shape teaching and discipline policies in schools. The event will provide some specific teaching tools that educators can use to continue the discussion/activism in schools and connect students and educators to existing social justice organizations, campaigns, and activism taking place in Chicago that is part of the larger new 21st century youth movement. 

Youth from schools are encouraged to bring their teachers and teachers are encouraged to bring youth from their schools in the hope that groups pursue ongoing activity and activism both in school-through ideas like service learning projects, lessons and extracurricular activites-as well as outside of school. Individual teachers and students are also welcome to attend and participate.

Co-Sponsors: Alternatives, Black Youth Project 100 - Chicago, Chicago Freedom School, Chicago Teachers Union, Mikva Challenge, Project NIA, Teachers for Social Justice, VOYCE (Voices of Youth in Chicago Education), We Charge Genocide
