Am surfacing from this month's blog break to let people know about an event of interest this week.
On Wednesday, October 19, from 7:00-9:00pm, the Coalition to Defend Public Education is sponsoring a teach-in entitled "How Would Achievement First Impact Our Community?" to offer a forum to discuss issues surrounding the soon-to-be-proposed Achievement First Mayoral Academy in Providence. Hear from parents, educators, community members, and others who will voice their concerns and discuss ideas for the way to truly improve and defend public education in Providence and in Rhode Island. The forum will be held at St. Michael's Church located at
239 Oxford Street in Providence.
Speakers will include Caroline Apgar, New Haven teacher and graduate of Teach for America, Jennifer Davey, Cranston parent, Tom Hoffman, blogger on education issues at
tuttlesvc.org and Providence parents and teachers. For more information, contact the Coalition to Defend Public Education at 401-400-0373 or email
coalitiontodefendpubliced@gmail.com.
If you're on Facebook, there's an event page for the teach-in
