What would it feel like to join in community with other education professionals committed to racial equity in schools? To collaborate with educators and leaders of color, as well as white allies in positions of leadership? It is possible to move beyond passive resistance and transform school systems into affirming, learning, and growing environments. This October 7th-9th at the Pacific Science Center, TAF’s Network for EdWork team is excited to bring you just that for our first annual Convening.

…

Grassroots solidarity has the power to radically shift education away from white supremacist norms that harm communities of color. Change must come as a defiant act of community to be truly sustainable and transformative.

…

The Convening has been designed to be the place for people to fill their cup and walk away with tangible actions and a support network to make their learning environments anti-racist and liberatory from the ground up. This sentiment fits right in with the rest of Network for EdWork’s programming, which supports educators of all stages as they strive to create equitable, inclusive, and anti-racist public education systems. Here is what past NWEW participants had to say:

…

Doing the work as individuals can feel isolating, but together at The Convening your work amplifies to push back against white supremacist individualism. We can change public education to finally serve all communities. When we build a community across different schools and backgrounds, we have the power to change lives, both for ourselves and the children we serve. We all have a place in an anti-racist education system.

…

Get ready to do some headwork, heartwork, and reflection as we take on white supremacy as a community. Every session at The Convening will be firmly rooted in Liberation Pedagogy. This framework begins with recognition and identification, then works to undo the white supremacy mindset. As these behaviors unravel, Liberation Pedagogy offers new and healthy replacements. With these practical alternatives, we can move forward as advocates and engage with our communities in uprooting white supremacy culture.

…

The Convening is more than a conference; we are rejecting white supremacist norms with actionable steps toward equitable education.
