Teacher Activist Groups

The Network of Teacher Activist Groups (TAG) is a national coalition of grassroots teacher organizing groups. Together, we engage in shared political education and relationship building in order to work for educational justice both nationally and in our local communities.

Highlights:

TAG brings together teacher-led organizations working in different parts of the country who believe every child has a right to a high quality, equitably funded, public education based on:
  • Participatory democratic principles
  • Community empowerment and self-determination
  • A challenging, comprehensive and critical curriculum
  • Respect for cultural diversity and a commitment to anti-racism
  • Equipping all students to deeply understand the roots of inequality and oppression and preparing them to act to change the world
