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:Assessment for Good: Ethical\, Equitable\, and Justice-oriented Assessment Registration
DESCRIPTION:Educating for Good is pleased to announce its premiere virtual conference\, August 10-12\, 2020. The conference looks at foundational issues around assessment\, equity\, justice and ethics — particularly those raised by the lock down. Our circle conversations will have implications for assessment in the long term\, and also\, more importantly\, for the school year that is coming right at us. In support of “at any distance” learning\, we will model virtual facilitation of learning circles\, provide thought partnership around assessment system development\, and processes for the development competency based assessments. We will highlight thought leaders and practitioners in the work\, and lift up resources and colleagues who are educating for good. Most importantly\, we will provide a space for participants to learn from each other\, share their concerns and questions\, and untangle the most pressing dilemma of the pandemic: how to do the right thing for our kids. \nRegistrants can attend all circles\, one circle\, or one strand of circles. Circles are interactive and will include break out spaces. There is no fee for registration.

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:Approaches to Maker Education
DESCRIPTION:Join us for 4.5 days of carefully paced\, hands-on\, minds-on\, equity-focused learning that culminates in the creation of a maker-centered project tailored to your learning environment. Step into your learners’ shoes and explore foundational approaches to weaving making into your practice: tinkering to discover\, making to learn\, and the application project. This workshop is perfect for those who are just getting started or are looking to further develop their practice in schools\, libraries\, museums\, makerspaces\, and other educational settings — whether in person or online. \nThese approaches are also designed to elicit ways in which educators can use maker education as a tool for equity. Throughout the workshop\, we will be exploring and sharing how making enables learner agency and how to shift educator practices to be more culturally relevant. \nWith the current pandemic\, we have redesigned this workshop to take place virtually over 4.5 days\, with a thoughtful mix of synchronous time together over video and other virtual community spaces\, asynchronous time for independent work and reflection\, breaks\, and opportunities to engage 1-on-1 and in small groups. We expect to be synchronously engaged together for approximately 3 hours each day\, split between morning and afternoon. In addition\, we will be engaging in learning and making asynchronously for another 3-4 hours during the day; this can be done during times that work for your schedule. Our virtual workshop aims to be as hands-on and interactive as possible\, intended to showcase what maker education can look like\, whether facilitated remotely or in-person. \nIn order to participate in this workshop you will need a computer\, internet access\, installed zoom app\, and functioning video and audio. No additional making materials will be required outside of what is shipped to you\, but feel free to use materials you have on hand. \nLocation(s): Virtual! Join us from your own home or learning space. \nFee: $100 – $200. The cost of this workshop covers a kit of making supplies which will be mailed out to you ahead of the workshop. \nDates: August 3-7\, 2020 \nRegister \nSchedule\n \nSynchronous Times: Please plan to be fully present during the following times: \n\nMonday\, Aug 3: 9 – 11am PT and 1 – 2:30pm PT\nTuesday\, Aug 4: 9 – 10:30am PT and 1 – 2:30pm PT\nWednesday\, Aug 5: 9 – 10:30am PT and 1 – 2:30pm PT\nThursday\, Aug 6: 9 – 10:30am PT and 1 – 2:30pm PT\nFriday\, Aug 7: 9 – 9:30 PT and 10:30am – 12pm PT\n\nAsynchronous Times: Participants will also have 3-4 hours a day of asynchronous activities. \nLearning Goals\nWorkshop participants will: \n\nReflect on our current language\, practices\, and ingrained understandings in order to design maker activities as a means to center learners and develop their critical consciousness and cognitive capacities (Equity). \nPlan learner-driven activities\, adaptable to various learning environments and using diverse facilitation techniques\, that integrate with existing content and skills (Pedagogy). \nCollaborate and connect with maker educators with similar and different values and visions of maker education (Community).

SUMMARY:Education Now: Can We Actually Reopen Schools Safely?
DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL EPISODE: Friday\, July 31\, at noon EDT — Can We Actually Reopen Schools Safely? \nWith disease outbreaks flaring in various states\, and a shortage of reliable guidance from the federal government\, the country is grappling with the challenges of sending children back to school. Families\, local leaders\, and school-based educators hold much of the burden of balancing trade-offs between in-person and remote learning. \nDuring this special episode\, HGSE Dean Bridget Long and Ashish Jha\, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute and incoming dean of Brown University School of Public Health\, will examine how to reopen schools in a way that limits risks to students\, families\, and educators.
