The Need for a Racial Justice Intervention in Education Reform
This panel of teachers, advocates and education experts will examine the history of the achievement gap. In particular the workshop will cover how it's been used as a justification for privatized school reform efforts and wedging big divisions between communities of color and traditionally liberal education advocates (eg unions, teachers, etc.).
Speakers: Chela Delgado, Judith Browne Dianis, Hany Khalil, Julianne Hing
