You are invited to "Let's Talk: Combatting Institutional Racism" 

When: Thursday, October 25th, 4:30-6:30
Where: PAT Office: 345 NE 8th Ave 97232

Dinner will be served

Please RSVP. 

Participants will take part in a discussion about how institutional racism in education impacts youth today. Discuss different strategies for combating levels of racism and begin to embark on a shared understanding so we can co-create racial justice in education. Let’s talk, listen and learn from each other, as we discuss the roles that race plays in the education of our students, our profession and our communities. Facilitated by local leaders and NEA.

The goal of the Engage! project is to have a face-to-face, one-on-one conversation with every one of our members, to learn what‘s working in our schools and what’s getting in the way of teaching and learning. Sign up here to volunteer to be a listener.

This fall, we need enough volunteers to get to every school site we didn't visit last year. We need your help to make this possible!

Please volunteer on an upcoming Friday to take a day away from your classroom to talk to teachers in another school. OEA will pay for your sub, and volunteers have described their experience as being “invigorating and enlightening.”
