The Convening: Reclaiming Education Through Liberation, presented by TAF's Network for EdWork, is the annual gathering centered on reclaiming mindfulness, joy, and the power of intentional collective action. This 3-day gathering will focus on how to undo and replace oppressive behaviors, thoughts, and policies that harm BIPOC students and educators, while engaging in decolonizing pedagogies meant to liberate education and create more equitable learning environments for everyone. This year, we are honored to have Dr. Bettina Love as our keynote speaker. Dr. Love’s talk will discuss the struggles and the possibilities of committing ourselves to an abolitionist goal of educational freedom, as opposed to reform, and moving beyond what she calls the educational survival complex.
This is not a “sit and get conference”! You will work, commune and walk away with tools, ideas, and a new network of folx to help you move forward on your journey of reclaiming education through liberation. You’ll also the opportunity to extend your learning beyond the Convening throughout the year with the Network for EdWork!
This event is open to all BIPOC educators and leaders, as well as white leaders in education throughout Washington state.
