I am just touching base to see if anyone is interested in being on the SGTA Equity Team for 2021-2022. Several teachers have reached out to us asking how to work on improving our outreach for social and racial justice within our community.
So here we go:
Please take a look at the links below from our CTA Human Rights Department.
Human Rights Department Programming - California Teachers Association
cta.org
There are also trainings coming up in October, November and December. (See attached flier)
Here is the registration form for the October Part 1 and 2 Trainigs:
So You Want to be an Anti-Racist Union? October 2021 - California Teachers Association
So You Want to be an Anti-Racist Union? October 2021 - California Teacher...There is a conference in March that teachers may be interested in attending.
CTA Human Rights and Equity Conference March 4-6 2022
https://www.cta.org/event/equity-human-rights-conference-2022
The Equity and Human Rights Conference captures the essence in CTA’s Mission Statement: to ensure that the dignity and civil rights of all children and youth are protected, and to secure a more equitable and democratic society. The conference combines speakers and workshops to provide all CTA members with a greater understanding of the issues of diversity and equity.
Please ask teachers to reach out to site reps or myself if they are interested in attending the Trainings, Conferences and being a part of our SGTA Equity Team!
Thank you,
SGTA Exec Board
