This 3-part series, led by Dr. Arvenita Washington-Cherry, will:
- Explore how racism and cultural insensitivity manifest in our everyday lives, our classrooms, popular culture, and online.
- Empower participants with the tools to counter problematic narratives; facilitate productive, non-harmful conversations with students; and ensure that classrooms are safe, non-triggering spaces for learning.
Participants will learn the ways that technology can be helpful vs. harmful and how to incorporate culturally literate, anti-racist practices into their work as educators in an ever-changing, digital world.
Registrants may register for one or all of the sessions; they will serve as stand-alone workshops as well as part of a cohesive series that addresses different facets of cultural competency.
