Teachers Unite Event May 8

WHY DO WE TEACH?

Revisiting Our Vision of Public Education

Did you want to give back to your community?Did you want to support your students as leaders?Did you want to be a part of public education reform?

Join Deborah Meier and Teachers Unite in a discussion about what brought us to teaching, and what we're fighting for now that we're here.

Deborah Meier has spent more than four decades in public education as a teacher, writer and advocate. http://www.deborahmeier.com/.

This is the final forum in the 2007-2008 series of events where educators relate their experiences in schools to larger political trends. The 2007 - 2008 forums focus on the impact of privatization and the corporate model on classroom life in NYC public schools. Co-sponsored by National Center for Schools and Communities at Fordham University.
