TAG Policy Institute April 2019
"Education: It's A Heart Matter

On April 5 - 7, TAG Participants underwent the final TAG Policy Institute for the Teachers Advocating to lead Great change Program. During TAG institutes TAG Participants participate in a weekend long training to enhance their best practices in outreach, advocacy and education policy analysis. Our Equity Warriors get the opportunity to learn and discuss strategies for outreach and collaboration from our national partners the Education Trust and Leadership Conference along with hearing from education administrators committed to equity in their districts. TAG Participants also get the opportunity to conference with team members to increase the effectiveness of their own state advocacy projects to ensure the efforts made by the TAG Program are long-lasting and life-changing. We are always grateful for the energy our TAG Participants bring. We are equally humbled and honored to have each and every one of them serve by carrying out impactful work in their respective communities. We look forward to seeing a strong finish from each coalition!

On March 22, at Pointe South Elementary it was lights, camera, glamour with Georgia Dream Team member Judith A. Williams hard at work in Clayton County, Georgia. Judith, Executive Director/Founder of the Kidadah Project Mentoring Program for At-promise girls was getting the word out about ESSA and TAG. Many Clayton County stakeholders such as parents, teachers and volunteers received literature, pertaining to T.A.G. At the Kidadah Project Annual Father/Daughter and Mother/Son Gala many individuals took the time out to sign up to help get the word out and be a part of the Georgia Coalition. Great job Judith!
