D.C. Area Educators for Social Justice Advisers

These are the teacher advisers for the launch year (2017-2018) of the D.C. Area Educators for Social Justice. They were selected to represent pre-school to high school (with one teacher educator) and to include the voices of educators from D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. The advisers have met to set the direction for the network, they drafted the mission statement, and they will meet throughout the year to review plans and progress. Their time, leadership, and dedication are much appreciated.
