A Note To Our Participants, Supporters and Friends

DTEC-TAG acknowledges the many challenges that have arisen during this time of social isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic and national unrest due to the ongoing police brutality and discrimination against African Americans in this country. We also acknowledge that you are navigating an unusual yet monumental period in history and would like to thank all of you for supporting us as we push for justice and equity both in and out of the realm of education in America.

H.E. L.I.V.E. Summer Learning Series
|
|
One of the highlights from our July H.E. L.I.V.E. Summer Learning Series was our July 9 presentation featuring TWO School District CEO's Dr. Monica Goldson of Prince George's County Public Schools and Dr. Sonja Santilesis of Baltimore City Public Schools. To catch up on the discussion, click

As a response to COVID-19 and the increased dependence on digital learning and education, the Highly Efficacious, Effective and Efficient Educators (H.E.), has begun presenting 22 total L.I.V.E. lessons that will focus on individual areas of teacher efficacy, advocacy and support and combine seminars with instructional strategy.
The 22 Lesson Series will be hosted every Tuesday and Thursday, 6:30 pm EST/5:30pm CST, through August 28, 2020.
These L.I.V.E. Lessons will be streamed to each of DTEC-TAG’s social media platforms on
Facebook
,
Periscope/Twitter
&
the H.E. L.I.V.E. YouTube Page
. Each L.I.V.E. lesson will vary by topic, grade level and audience but all will include discussions around instruction, policy and distance learning strategies for students, teachers, parents, district administrators and other community stakeholders.
This week was an amazing facilitation of the importance of Mental Health in the Classroom; first hosted by Dr. Ebony White and continued by the first ever H.E. L.I.V.E. Summer Learning Series student panel! If you missed any of the discussions, they're still live on
the H.E. L.I.V.E. YouTube Page!
Students, teachers, parents, and all community stakeholders are encouraged to log in.
Knowledge is power!
We hope you will take advantage of these empowering opportunities throughout the month of August and share with others.

Meet Our DTEC-TAG Equity Warriors!
|
|
Teachers Advocating to lead Great change” is an initiative that builds upon the teacher advocacy component of the Delta Teacher Efficacy Campaign (DTEC). Selected participants have been coached in the areas of advocacy and the Every Student Succeeds Acts (ESSA) as we created and executed local TAG Advocacy Projects. DTEC-TAG has built a coalition of educators, administrators, parents, students, and other stakeholders in various communities across the country. In our effort to build more “Education Equity Warriors,” we have launched TAG 2.0 which focuses on support of priority issues in education and increased education advocacy, awareness, and understanding of focused elements in schools and communities across the country.
The educators who have made this program a
success
in the communities they serve can be seen below:

"My hope is also for resiliency in the face of adversity. We must believe that we are up to the challenge at hand and model perseverance and ingenuity for our students. We’re navigating the unknown and it doesn’t necessarily have to be a place of fear…it needs to be a place of hope. We will weather this storm."
