023// Students protest on Palestine, Extending the school day and being TAGged And CAGged

requires improvement

If you're already wondering what this episode is about: CAGs are centre-assessed-grades and TAGs are teacher-assessed grades, both of which constitute all the free labour teachers have just had to complete in order to rescue some qualification outcomes for the student cohort class of covid-19 (2021 edition). It's not been a great time in education but it was great to get the the RI crew back in a room to discuss Israel-Palestine, Student led democracy and protest, political education strategies and a whole bunch of stuff which has been on our minds as educators and union organisers of late. Hosted by Tom, Co-hosted by Lauren, Nik, Charlie and Lee. References/Links: 1. 1199’s advice to (rookie) Organisers https://organiseforchange.nz/2019/02/14/1199s-advice-to-rookie-organisers/ 2.
