In the last webinar of our series on school climate, NEA and Learning for Justice will offer strategies for responding to biased remarks in a timely manner and helping students to do the same.
Join Learning for Justice and Michelle Alexander, author of ‘The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness’, to discuss her timely book and suggestions to introduce high school students to topics such as mass incarceration and racial caste.
Join Learning for Justice as we address these concerns with the support of Johanna Eager, director of Welcoming Schools. During this informative, interactive and insightful conversation, she'll share her expertise in bias-based bullying in schools, with emphasis on intersectionality, gender and LGBT inclusivity.
This sequel to Let's Talk! Discussing Black Lives Matter in the Classroom reviews the education related policy demands within the Movement for Black Lives' platform: Invest-Divest and Community Control.
This webinar will prepare educators to use the approximately 45 days between the King holiday and the end of February to engage all students in recognizing and understanding how Black Americans have moved United States and world history forward. Join Learning for Justice as we share practices and strategies for celebrating the contributions of African Americans, whether they are household names or unsung heroes.
