In this Virtual Workshop, participants will build a common understanding about concepts like privilege, racial socialization, bias, and critical consciousness while learning about critical historic influences. Participants will unpack the messages we send to students that perpetuate racist ideas, and help students to develop a critical consciousness.
This product is designed for teachers, especially those that are in classrooms with minimal racial diversity.
I integrate equitable practices into my daily instruction.
Define
In this section, participants will engage with the restorative lens and concepts of critical consciousness as we define some key terms (bias, privilege, racial socialization, critical consciousness) to create a shared language as we begin unpacking our racial socialization.
Explore
Next, participants will explore the diverse ways we communicate with students (verbally and nonverbally) and the messages we send that could be damaging.
Build
Participants will begin developing their critical consciousness and learn how to model this for their students, so that students can begin to develop their own awareness and critical consciousness. Participants will need to consider how to make these conversations come to life by answering: when does building this common language happen with students and how do we create spaces to insert conversations about race?
