New York Collective of Radical Educators (NYCoRE)
Mission:
New York Collective of Radical Educators (NYCoRE) is a group of public school educators committed to fighting for social justice in our school system and society at large, by organizing and mobilizing teachers, developing curriculum, and working with community, parent, and student organizations. We are educators who believe that education is an integral part of social change and that we must work both inside and outside the classroom because the struggle for justice does not end when the school bell rings.

NYCoRE Inquiry to Action Groups (ItAG)
Description: Finally, the last way you can get involved with NYCoRE is through our ItAGs. ItAG's differ from working groups; they are ongoing groups that meet on a regular basis from now through March. Although they have an action component, they more closely resemble study groups, allowing educators to closely reflect on their own classroom practice. The groups have ended for this year, but please visit us for future updates. If you are interested please contact Bree at info@nycore.org for more information.
