Across the country, educators and administrators are acknowledging that schools themselves—both the practice of schooling and the outcomes students are achieving—are not equitable across lines of race. Facing History & Ourselves has designed a professional development model to help educators address these troubling and historically rooted disparities.
Our vision is to support educators and school leaders both individually and collectively as they move to more equitable practices that enable all students to find their voice and civic agency, become critical thinkers, and be fully engaged in their education. During this workshop, educators will examine moments in the history of American education and its current legacies of inequity, gaining in the process the tools necessary to mitigate against these barriers to equity.
This workshop is open to small teams of educators and administrators from Network 14 schools.
Light breakfast and lunch will be provided.
This in person workshop will be held at Erikson Institute, 451 N LaSalle St, Chicago, IL 60654
