Taking Your Advocacy to the Next Level:
Are you interested in taking your advocacy to the next level? Do so by testifying at The Committee of the Whole, March 1st hearing. District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS), Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE), District of Columbia Public Charter School Board (DCPCSB), State Board of Education, Office of the Student Advocate and more will be at the hearing. 

This will be the perfect opportunity to share your experience with these education sectors, and a chance to advocate for your child(ren) and community. We are more than happy to help you prepare! 

Crafting your story is an important part of presenting effective testimony and we're here to help you do just that. Join us for our AJE Advocacy Bootcamp Session on February 13th, where we discuss performance oversight hearings and how to prepare for them.

If that time does not work we have another session on the following day, February 14th, starting at 12pm. Register here!

To prepare you for your session take the opportunity to watch the videos below. They will tell you all you need to know about crafting your story and using it for testimony.
