Anti Racism Conference This Week

Looking for how you can work actively to remove racism from our schools?

Check out this group Educators for Anti-Racism, their conference workshops this week with some notable speakers, and their resource lists.

They are "a grassroots movement of teachers committed to abolitionist and anti-racist principles. We are determined, through our collective power, to bring systemic change to our schools." https://www.edantiracism.com/

I'm planning to attend the District Leaders workshop on Wednesday at 2pm (5pm eastern). See the full list here and note they will be recorded for future viewing as well.
