face=Geneva>This ItAG will explore Paulo
Freire's pedagogy and Augusto Boal's repertoire
and how they can contribute to an education for
liberation in NYC public schools. Texts will
include excerpts from Pedagogy of the Oppressed
[red edition], Games for Actors and Non-actors,
and assorted letters and "talking chapters" by
Freire and others. The goal is to bring these
texts to life and make sense of them for NYC
Public School- - finding ways for people to put
radical pedagogy into their daily practices,
while also using theater of the oppressed tools
and practices. We will look at how different
groups and collectives have used Freire’s
pedagogy and Boal’s techniques to do educations
around particular topics, like Palestine, Puerto
Rico, and Hurricane Katrina. This ItAG is a
joint collaboration between NYCoRE and members
of the Palestine Education Project (PEP) in
addition to other radical educators from
NYC. For more info on PEP

ITAG is designed to explore and extend the
definition of what it means to be a "radical
educator" through the perspective of new
teachers. The goal of this ITAG is to
empower new teachers with the language, skills,
and mindset that it takes to transform
classrooms into communities for change. Radical
teaching happens not only in the content of our
curriculum, but also in the way we speak about,
view, and interact with the world, our
community, and the students in our classroom. In
both theory and practice, we wish to radically
re-write the stories that our students hear
about the world and tell about themselves.

shows that suspensions in schools lead students

often serve as a student's first step into
the criminal justice system. This ItAG
looks at the theory and philosophy behind
alternative systems of discipline. We will
examine systems of discipline that shift the
