RSVP for NYCoRE’s November Meeting

In this meeting, the new working group FPAeD, Fighting Pervasive Ableism in Education, will facilitate the political education portion. This interactive and station-based approach will center the stories and experiences of learners of color with disabilites and the school structures that challenge their survival. This session aims to model adaptive and universal accesibility design.

In the second half of the meeting, we will have some time for Working Groups to check in, for new members to become oriented with NYCoRE in our NYCoRE 101 session, and for members who want to work on an action in response to the outcome of this month’s presidential election.

Please join us on Friday!

From the Streets to our Schools: The Educator’s Role in Disrupting Anti-Blackness

In this meeting, we will be deepening our understanding of anti-Blackness and how it shows up in our schools and classrooms. We’ll be exploring these questions:

What is anti-Blackness?
How does anti-Blackness manifest in our school and in our classrooms?
What does anti-Blackness have to do with neoliberal education reform?

We will also work collaboratively to come up with ways for us as educators to disrupt anti-Blackness. We will be reading an excerpt from Katherine McKittrick’s Mathematics Black Life and huffpost piece by Michael Dumas titled Things Are Gonna Get Easier: Refusing Schools as Sites of Black Suffering.

In the second half of the meeting, we will have some time for Working Groups to check in and for new members to become oriented with NYCoRE in our NYCoRE 101 session.

Please join us as we strengthen our collective political analysis and prepare for the work of this school year!
