This session will focus on understanding the UFT/DOE power structure- mayoral control, the panel for educational policy, the UFT structure, the executive board and delegate assembly. We will also explore how privatization impacts the DOE, with a particular focus on the push to bring more charter schools to NYC.

This session will deal with the “nuts and bolts” of organizing in your school and enforcing the contract, including representing members in disciplinary cases, filing grievances that can win, organizing an effective consultation committee, and dealing with difficult supervisors.
