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: 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:Conversation about Race and Inclusion in the Maker Movement
DESCRIPTION:Nation of Makers is partnering with Fab Foundation\, Tikkun Olam Makers\, Open Source Medical Supplies\, Citizen Schools\, Maker Ed\, and Make: Community\, to begin the long overdue critical internal reflection and work that we need to engage in to address the lack of support and representation of makers of color within the mainstream maker community. We expect this work to be ongoing and continual\, and also actionable\, defining clear next steps and actions for individuals and organizations within the maker community. \nWe invite everyone in our communities (and those who have specifically chosen not to be\, because of past failures on our part) to join us in this process of reinvention of the maker movement\, starting with our facilitated Conversation about Race and Inclusion in the Maker Movement: Dialogue and Actions for Progress at 7pm ET/4pm PT on Thursday\, July 2\, 2020. We intend for this dialogue to be the starting point for open communication within our community about where we are at right now on issues of race and inclusion\, and what actions we need to engage in to create an intentional inclusive maker community grounded in social justice and equity.

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. She writes and speaks nationally about social justice and culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogy as well as creating emotionally intelligent and safe classrooms within the context of equity and liberation. She is the author of the forthcoming book\, White Rules for Black People (St. Martin’s Press\, 2021). \nBrian Jones is the Associate Director of Education at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. He writes about black education history and politics. \nThe Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem is one of the world’s leading cultural institutions devoted to the research\, preservation\, and exhibition of materials focused on African American\, African Diaspora\, and African experiences. \nFor more reading on this topic check out Haymarket Books’ Education Justice Reading List and Books Against Policing and Mass Incarceration List.
