How do we honestly examine and confront the history of race in the United States in today’s contentious environment? How should teachers respond to those who want to exclude any discussion of systemic racism in our history, culture, institutions, and economy? We are seeking proposals for breakout sessions aimed at sharing effective classroom strategies. To learn more about submitting a proposal, please check out our workshop goals and the button links for the conference webpage and proposal form below. *Workshop Goals* - Participants will gain a richer set of perspectives on the challenges and benefits of teaching race through intentional and honest conversations with colleagues. - Participants will explore new strategies and approaches for teaching race and equity. - Participants will examine instructional resources to teach race, and determine areas of application in their ELA and Social Studies classes. - Participants will engage with and develop a plan to implement discipline-specific approaches to anti-racist instruction in ELA and Social Studies classes. *Conference Information* If you are interested in attending or submitting a proposal, check out our conference webpage.
