Emergent Strategy

Emergent Strategy

An emergent strategy is a pattern of action that develops over time in an organization in the absence of a specific mission and goals, or despite a mission and goals. Emergent strategy is sometimes called realized strategy. ... When a deliberate strategy is realized, the result matches the intended course of action.

The Letter

Dear Julia Brim-Edwards, 10/26/2019

Beginning of "The Letter"

Note: While this letter is directed toward Julia Brim-Edwards, based on the area she represents, the entire PPS School Board is accountable for the inequities we address herein. We implore all board members to read this and respond publicly. We ask anyone in Oregon who cares about public education to join us in support of our children and our schools by raising a voice about the inequities you see in your community!

 

I write to you today as a Mother in the South East Portland community, a veteran educator with more than 20 years in public education, and as a member of the resistance community who has at times confronted you or organizations that you are affiliated with. I also write as a member of the working class and as one who has been involved in organizing mutual aid efforts in the Portland Metro Area for people who are living outside in the SE 82nd corridor and in North East Portland since 2007. I write as a member of Portland’s recovery community. I write as a member of Portland Parent Union, a group founded by Portland Activist and Organizer Sheila Warren, whose soul and sole mission is to provide networks of support for parents of children of color who face institutional barriers in educational settings. My membership in these groups means that I will automatically have knowledge of a set of circumstances and lived experiences that you are not privy to based on your membership in Portland’s wealthy, political elite, a group that upholds institutional and state power.  Continue

Education is not a privilege. It is a human right.

Education as a human right means:

  • the right to education is legally guaranteed for all without any discrimination

  • states have the obligation to protect, respect, and fulfil the right to education

  • there are ways to hold states accountable for violations or deprivations of the right to education

What are human rights?

Where is the right to education guaranteed?

Why is the right to education fundamental?

What is the content of the right to education?

What are the 4As?

What are states' obligations?

What are the responsibilities of other stakeholders?

What are violations of the right to education?

What can you do to help realize the right to education?

Talk to those most impacted!
