About this Event
Teaching While White (2 Days) August 20th & 21st 9:00AM-3:30PM
This workshop is designed for white educators and administrators who understand that race matters, but who still feel uncomfortable engaging in racial topics, especially across racial difference. To better understand our own perspective, we will explore what it means to be “white” and how our identity impacts our work. We will discuss why being “colorblind” is not a solution, what language is appropriate to use, how stereotypes influence everyone, and how we can be more conscious of our own biases. We will practice how to interrupt racially stressful situations and how to manage white guilt, shame, and paralysis in the face of racist comments or behavior. We will identify how white fragility operates and ways to challenge it via pedagogy, content, and assessment practices. Participants will leave the workshop with a deeper understanding of allyship as an action and with strategies to support healthy, antiracist teaching/learning environments.
Who should attend: Teachers, Professors & Educators from all subject areas and grade levels Elementary through College
All participants will receive a copy of Learning and Teaching While White: Antiracist Strategies for School Communities (Routledge, 2023)
