SUMMARY:Decolonizing Education and the Role of Restorative Justice in Schools
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is for educators looking at ways to understand the restorative justice movement and its role in education. While restorative justice has been used in various school settings\, it is critical that it is approached in an authentic and meaningful way that acknowledges the roots of the work and the practice. Too often education attempts to colonize restorative justice in the same way that education has been colonized. Through conversations with Restorative Justice leaders doing this work with a strong anti-racist lens and understanding of the movement\, this webinar will give educators an understanding of what restorative justice is really about and its impact on decolonizing education.

SUMMARY:CTE Mission: CubeSat [info session]
DESCRIPTION:Today\, we launched CTE Mission: CubeSat\, a national challenge to build technical skills for careers in space and beyond. The U.S. Department of Education invites high schools to bring space missions to students by designing and building CubeSat prototypes — in the classroom or at home. \nDesigning and building a CubeSat prototype in this multiphase challenge will offer students a firsthand opportunity to learn valuable technical skills — such as engineering\, computer science\, research\, logistics\, project management\, and marketing — that can be applied to careers in space and many other industries. \nCurated educational resources are available to students and teachers online in the CTE Mission: CubeSat resource hub. To learn more\, schools can join a virtual information session on September 1. The challenge team will discuss how CubeSats can be used as a tool for education\, present an in-depth overview of the challenge\, and answer questions.

SUMMARY:The First Ingredient: Rising to Meet Challenges to Relationships in Fall 2020
DESCRIPTION:What we have seen in our work at EXPLO Elevate over the last months has revealed the immediate\, and at times existential\, threats to critical school relationships. The justifiable stress accompanying significant decisions is too often chilling the relationships necessary to allow a school to preserve and deepen culture\, to serve students\, and to prepare for the future. Whether the issue lies in the organizational/managerial culture\, change management\, or classroom practice\, a sort of relationship metal fatigue threatens to weaken the ties that bind a school community together. In the webinar\, Ross Peters\, EXPLO Elevate’s Vice-President for School Strategy\, will provide context for the various threats to relationships and\, most importantly\, provide strategies both to remediate the challenges and move beyond them to create the good health our schools and classrooms will need to excel in the weeks and months ahead.

SUMMARY:Healing the Impact of Racial Injustice and Inequity: The Role of Afterschool
DESCRIPTION:Healing the Impact of Racial Injustice and Inequity: The Role of Afterschool \na Webinar with Dr. Shawn Ginwright \nThe COVID-19 pandemic and the long list of African Americans killed by police has laid bare the racial injustice and inequity in our society. We know that many adult staff and many of our youth participants in afterschool are people of color. In the wake of this turmoil\, how can we address the needs of our staff? How can we prepare staff and redesign our programs to promote racial healing? What is the best way to facilitate discussions of systemic racism? How is afterschool positioned for this? Should we urge/ support youth to engage in civic action? And\, is there a way to do some of this work remotely\, as programs may not re-open in the Fall? Dr. Ginwright will address some of these questions in his presentation and will be available to respond to participants’ questions. \nShawn Ginwright\, PhD is one of the nation’s leading innovators\, provocateurs\, and thought leaders on African American youth\, youth activism\, and youth development. He is Professor of Education in the Africana Studies Department and a Senior Research Associate at San Francisco State University. His research examines the ways in which youth in urban communities navigate through the constraints of poverty and struggle to create equality and justice in their schools and communities. \nDr. Ginwright is Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Flourish Agenda\, Inc.\, a national nonprofit consulting firm\, whose mission is to design strategies that unlock the power of healing and engage youth of color and adult allies in transforming their schools and communities. \nIn 2011\, he was awarded the prestigious Fulbright Senior Specialist award from the State Department for his outstanding research and work with urban youth. Dr. Ginwright is the author of “Hope and Healing in Urban Education: How Activists and Teachers are Reclaiming Matters of the Heart”\, “Black in School- Afrocentric Reform\, Black Youth and the Promise of Hip-Hop Culture” and co-editor of” Beyond Resistance!: Youth Resistance and Community Change: New Democratic Possibilities for Practice and Policy for America’s Youth” and in 2010 he published “Black Youth Rising\, Activism and Radical Healing in Urban America”. Dr. Ginwright currently serves as Chairman of the Board for the California Endowment. \nHOST: Stu Semigran\, Educare Foundation\, will serve as the host for this webinar.

SUMMARY:Education Now: Practicing Antiracism in Your School
DESCRIPTION:The disparities that students face today\, magnified during the COVID-19 outbreak\, are rooted in systemic racism that has been ingrained in education for generations. But even as we reevaluate the system\, we must also recognize the critical impact of individual educators who are committed to the fight against racism and injustice. Educators — people — can help change and improve the system\, so that it supports and nurtures all young people. \nDuring this conversation\, we will identify how educators can act to confront racism and white supremacy in their everyday roles\, and what it means to embrace and work toward antiracism in your school setting. Tracie Jones\, HGSE’s Director of Diversity\, Inclusion\, and Belonging\, will be joined by HGSE’s Christina “V” Villarreal\, a longtime teacher and school leader in East Oakland\, CA\, who now directs the Teacher Education master’s program\, and José Vilson\, a math teacher\, writer\, and activist in New York City who is the executive director of EduColor. \nEducation Now: The Challenges of Reopening is a summer webinar series with insights for educators\, families\, and school and district leaders. This bi-weekly series runs Wednesdays\, June 24 through September 2. Episodes will be recorded and available to view later on YouTube and Facebook. Visit hgse.me/ednow for more information.

SUMMARY:Education Now: What Makes a High-Quality Remote or Hybrid Learning Experience?
DESCRIPTION:As school leaders come together to envision and reopen schools this fall\, they face deep complexity. To navigate the uncertainty and build a remote or hybrid learning experience that is rich and meaningful\, schools will have to develop a collaborative planning process that combines strong leadership with broad stakeholder representation. \nHGSE’s Jal Mehta and MIT’s Justin Reich have been meeting with key stakeholders — teachers\, leaders\, students\, parents — to explore what makes a high-quality teaching and learning experience during COVID-19 restrictions. We’ll dig into their findings\, joined by Boston Public Schools teacher Neema Avashia\, a key partner in this work. \n· What do schools need in order to build a broad\, collaborative planning process? \n· What’s exciting about online learning? What’s not good about it? What’s better to do in person — and how do we make the most of each? \n· How can we center equity — and use learning technologies to build online environments that are equitable? \n· When we reinvent for remote or hybrid learning\, can we open the door to innovations more broadly in how we teach\, learn\, promote equity and justice\, and care for our communities? \nEducation Now: The Challenges of Reopening is a summer webinar series with insights for educators\, families\, and school and district leaders. This bi-weekly series runs Wednesdays\, June 24 through September 2. Episodes will be recorded and available to view later on YouTube and Facebook. Visit hgse.me/ednow for more information.

SUMMARY:Embracing Anti-Bias Classrooms: A Response to Racism in America
DESCRIPTION:What if educators changed the world… one classroom at a time? \nAs our nation grieves\, processes\, reforms\, and tries to heal from racial bias\, violence\, injustice\, and oppression\, educators have the opportunity and responsibility to respond by advancing equity out of love and empathy starting within their classroom. But how? \nIn this edWebinar\, the lead authors of the newly released book\, Don’t Look Away\, Embracing Anti-Bias Classrooms\, will participate in a roundtable discussion on how to explore and address issues of bias\, equity\, low expectations\, and family engagement to ensure culturally responsive experiences. Equipped with the tools and strategies to promote classroom change\, educators will be empowered to do the following: \n\nLearn how institutional racism becomes present in early childhood environments\nDiscover how implicit bias\, microaggression\, and white privilege can play a role in undermining the learning experiences of marginalized Black and brown children and those who teach them\nEmbrace anti-bias and anti-racist teaching approaches\nImplement best practices for creating culturally-rich and supportive classroom environments that protect children from social-emotional and psychological trauma by affirming personal healing\n\nThis edWebinar will be of interest to preK through elementary teachers\, school and district leaders\, coaches\, trainers\, and childcare providers\, owners\, and administrators. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nIheoma U. Iruka\, Ph.D.\, is the Chief Research Innovation Officer and Director of The Center for Early Education Research and Evaluation at HighScope Educational Research Foundation. Dr. Iruka is engaged in projects and initiatives focused on how evidence-informed policies\, systems\, and practices in early education can support the optimal development and experiences of low-income and ethnic minority children\, such as through family engagement and support\, quality rating and improvement systems\, and early care and education systems and programs. She has been engaged in addressing how best to ensure excellence for young diverse learners\, especially Black children\, such as through the development of a classroom observation measure\, examination of non-traditional pedagogical approaches\, public policies\, and publications geared towards early education practitioners and policymakers. \nStephanie M. Curenton\, Ph.D.\, is a tenured Associate Professor at the Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development. She studies the social\, cognitive\, and language development of low-income and minority children within various ecological contexts\, such as parent-child interactions\, early childhood education programs\, early childhood workforce programs\, and related state and federal policies. \nKerry-Ann Escayg\, Ph.D.\, is an Assistant Professor of Early Childhood Education at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. Dr. Escayg’s research focuses on anti-racism in early childhood education as well as children and race. As a social theorist\, Dr. Escayg has utilized central tenets of Critical Race Theory\, Black Feminist Thought\, and Anti-racist Education to offer incisive exegeses on children’s racial attitudes\, including strategies to promote positive racial identity among Black children; a research-derived protocol to assess how children express their racialized beliefs through play; and an anti-racist approach to U.S early childhood education. Her recent publications on anti-racism highlight and interrogate the ways in which whiteness\, as a system of racial privilege\, functions in early childhood contexts. Central to Dr. Escayg’s work is a commitment to racial equity in the early years and the holistic well-being of children of color\, and Black children in particular. \nTonia Durden\, Ph.D.\, is a Clinical Associate Professor and Birth-5 Program Coordinator within the Department of Early Childhood and Elementary Education at Georgia State University. Dr. Durden’s areas of expertise focus on exploring how to develop and support African American children’s socio-cultural and create racially equitable learning experiences for children of color. As a teacher educator and researcher\, the focus of her work includes also preparing pre-service and in-service teachers to become culturally competent master teachers. Furthermore\, Dr. Durden’s professional work and scholarship can be categorized into three core areas of focus: Early Childhood Education (curriculum and program development); racial educational equity (research to professional practice); and Early Childhood Systems Engagement (strategic partnerships and equitable systems building). Dr. Durden is committed to using teacher education and research as an informative vehicle towards helping develop educators and leaders who become culturally responsive change agents and advocates in their classrooms and communities.

SUMMARY:Abolitionist Teaching and the Future of Schools
DESCRIPTION:A conversation with Bettina Love\, Gholdy Muhammed\, Dena Simmons and Brian Jones about abolitionist teaching and antiracist education.\n\n\nTuesday\, June 23\, 5 PM EDT \nA conversation with Bettina Love\, Gholdy Muhammed\, Dena Simmons and Brian Jones about abolitionist teaching and antiracist education. \nThe coronavirus pandemic has transformed the US education system overnight. The antiracist rebellion in the streets has shown a light on the deep racial inequality in America. \nEducators and activists who have nurtured radical dreams for public schools now face an unprecedented moment of change\, and the challenge of trying to teach and organize online in the midst of unfolding crises. \nScholar and author Bettina Love’s concept of abolitionist teaching is about adopting the radical stance of the movement that ultimately overthrew slavery\, but persisted and insisted on freedom long before that victory. \nWhat would freedom look like in our schools? \nHow can abolitionist educators make the most of this moment to fight for humane\, liberatory\, anti-racist schooling for black youth and for all youth? \nBettina L. Love is an award-winning author and the Athletic Association Endowed Professor at University of Georgia. She is the author of We Want To Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom and Hip Hop’s Li’l Sistas Speak: Negotiating Hip Hop Identities and Politics in the New South. \nDr. Gholnecsar (Gholdy) Muhammad is an Associate Professor of Language and Literacy at Georgia State University. She also serves as the director of the GSU Urban Literacy Clinic. Dr. Muhammad’s scholarship has appeared in leading educational journals and books. Some of her recognitions include the 2014 recipient of the National Council of Teachers of English\, Promising New Researcher Award\, the 2016 NCTE Janet Emig Award\, the 2017 GSU Urban Education Research Award and the 2018 UIC College of Education Researcher of the Year. She is the author of Cultivating Genius: An Equity Model for Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy. \nDena Simmons\, Ed.D.\, is an activist\, educator\, and student of life from the Bronx\, New York. She is the Assistant Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and an Associate Research Scientist at the Yale Child Study Center.
