Come listen and participate in a series of community conversations on what is happening in public education. In January, get the 411 on:
A public hearing on what it takes to provide a just education. Hear from multiple perspectives and voice your needs on new directions for SFUSD.
January 3rd, 6:00 - 8:00pm
at New College of California
777 Valencia Street (@ 19th)
San Francisco, CA
San Francisco has a new Superintendent and a new Superintendent of Innovation, Instruction and Social justice.
What do they need to know to do their jobs best and to do right by San Francisco's youth and communities?
This 411 offers the chance to both reflect on where we are as a school district and community, and to name new directions that SFUSD can take in the immediate and long term future. In addition to hearing multiple perspectives on education as it is, with a panel discussion featuring a student, a parent, an administrator, a youth worker, and a teacher, there will also be the opportunity to collectively voice our needs to present in the future to the new Superintendents and affect the changing course for SFUSD, our communities and youth. Bring your questions, experiences, and expectations to share to this grass-roots event!
Through the annual Teachers For Social Justice Conference, 411 Public Education Series, and Teacher Study Groups, we invite you to be part of a powerful movement of educators seeking to make teaching a vehicle for greater justice.

We need volunteer tutors to tutor at a 1-3 tutor to student ratio. Students to be tutored are primarily high school age and some have learning disabilities. The tutoring program will be based on subjects such as, but not limited to, Math, English, History, Science, etc. Tutor-student matches will be based on the tutor's strengths and availability.
All volunteer tutors will be asked to tutor students for a minimum of once per week and pass fingerprinting clearance (fingerprinting expenses paid by CHALK). Experienced tutors preferred but not required. Essential to have passion for helping youth learn and become confident in their require subject.
