Breaking Barriers of Race, Class, and Language in Schools
On July 22, 2015, Teaching for Change hosted a special event with community stakeholders about the impact of gentrification and systemic inequities on full parental participation in schools. Gentrification can add to the challenges traditionally marginalized families ----namely those from Black, Latino, immigrant, and low-income communities ----face when engaging with schools.
The presentation introduced four successful strategies Teaching for Change identified and is developing to address race, class, and language issues in public schools. Read more about the event and resources for parent organizing.
