Working Groups

Working Groups are an extension of the Board of Directors. Being a member of one or  more Working Groups is a great way to develop leadership skills. Group members serve many functions, including:

*providing professional expertise to strengthen a specific program
*serving as advocates for the organization to the community it serves
*providing feedback to the organization from the community
*providing a means for involving people who are willing to give very critical assistance, but have limited time
*building a corps of outside, experienced experts whose interest and support are important (including possible future board members)

TaLiN currently has open positions on the following Working Group:

Community Volunteer: to identify and/or create opportunities in the Newark community and organize volunteers--particulary past, present, and future teachers--for these opportunities.

Working Group Members

  • recognize how the hierarchies of class and economics permeate our society and institutions;
  • reject the use of standards and assessments that inscribe and reproduce this status quo; and
  • assert social justice as a goal and purpose of public education.

Why become a member?

Become a member to join a network of educators affecting change in the public school education system of Newark toward a more just, equitable, and equal education for our students.

Who can become a member?

Past, current, and future educators, including individuals in roles outside of the classroom, and community members.
