What's on your mind?

[Tag Philly]

Good morning.  If you're holding on to every last moment of summer, don't read this until you're ready!  If you're starting to wrap your mind around the year ahead, read on....  

As the new year kicks off, tell us what's on your mind:

What's exciting you -- a new classroom practice, potential collaborations, powerful curriculum?  What's worrying you -- workplace challenges, looming budget cuts, the national context?  What are you curious about -- issues, policies, pedagogies?  We'd love to hear what's on your mind as we start to plan for the upcoming year.  Fill out this three question form to give us your thoughts. If you're not an educator in the classroom, we still welcome your participation!

Connect others to TAG:

Share this google form with colleagues, community members and friends who are committed to a liberatory vision of public education, and who would benefit from being connected to TAG's community!

Consider this co-researcher opportunity:

Emmy Tailan is currently a rising 4th year doctoral candidate at Penn GSE, as well as a former high school English teacher. 

She is recruiting secondary ELA teachers to act as co-researchers on her dissertation project through an online inquiry community with other English Language Arts teachers and youth researchers around the role of social media in these times. She knows members of TAG think critically and expansively about curriculum and their insights would be invaluable in contributing to our collective understanding of a critical approach to social media, both in our classrooms and in our own lives.

This study information sheet has more detailed information about what participation will entail, alongside an application/interest questionnaire. 

TAG will be back in touch as the school year gets started with more ways to connect.  For now, summer isn't over so enjoy it!

In solidarity,

TAG
