NYC Social Justice Curriculum Fair
Event Information
Description
JOIN US for the NYC Social Justice Curriculum Fair on October 29th hosted by the Movement and Rank File Educators. We are eager to bring together educators from across the city to share curriculum, come up with new ideas for our students, and have an inspiring day of dialogue. We want to look beyond packaged curriculum and test-centric lessons and create spaces that respect our students' identities and build community.
If you are interested in tabling or sharing curriculum, please let us know on the registration page!
The day will include:
-
Curriculum presentations and shares from elementary to high school and adult education in a range of subject areas from social studies to math.
-
Spaces for dialogue around what it means to be an educator who teaches through a social justice lens.
-
Tabling of resources and materials from organizations such as Rethinking Schools, Global Kids, the Zinn Education Project, Teachers Unite, Museum of the City of New York, New York Historical Society, Brooklyn Historical Society, We Are Not Your Soldiers, IntegrateNYC4Me, Haymarket Books, NYCOPTOUT, Change the Stakes, Urban Word, NYC Let Em Play, Art Justicia, Bronx History Collaborative, Bronx Educators United for Justice, NYC Artists of Color Collective, Explorable Places, the CUNY Murphy Institute, Democracy Now!, and more!
