Workshop Proposal Deadline + Registration Reminder

[Tag Philly]

Good morning.  The deadline to propose a workshop for TAG's Education for Liberation Conference is this Friday, March 13.  We are asking all of you:  What work have you been doing or see others doing that needs to be shared --  organizing and political education work, liberatory classroom practice work, work that is critical for current conditions, work that will collectively move us forward?

• TAG seeks interactive, engaging workshops that invite participants to further their own political education, develop humanistic curriculum, sharpen liberatory classroom practices, connect their work to community organizing and build power as educators. The workshop sessions are 70 minutes.  
• We are also excited to display samples of student work that show off educator and student creativity, agency and power. 
• Finally, we welcome volunteers to help with conference planning and logistics.  

Submit this form no later than Friday, March 13 to make a workshop proposal and/or sign up to display student work or volunteer.
