How do we talk about race in our classrooms?

How do we recognize our own racial biases?

How do we discuss the history of race in America?

This workshop is designed for middle school and high school teachers (or pre-service teachers), seeking to begin to answer these questions.

This “Teachers’ Workshop on Racial Justice in the Classroom” is a three-day workshop providing the opportunity for writing and talking about race, with practical applications for the classroom, led by veteran educators Chey Davis, Trisha Baker, and Allison Jordan.
