    Audience: Grades 4-12 Social Studies/Humanities teachers, chairs, and supervisors. DEI Leaders.

    Dates: 2/3/2025

    Join Kesha James of Our Local History (formerly the Antiracist Curriculum Project), to engage in an asset-based approach to understanding historical and ongoing inequities in Westchester County. Through inquiry and critical examination of federal and local policies like redlining, racially restrictive covenants, and urban renewal, educators will investigate how these practices segregated communities, built wealth for some and limited opportunities for others. Guided by the inquiry question, "How has racial discrimination impacted Westchester County, and how have people responded?” participants will experience the lessons firsthand, examining how local residents historically resisted and responded to these inequities. The content supports the study of local communities, 20th century United States history, and current Social Studies issues.

    The session emphasizes culturally responsive teaching practices and social-emotional learning (SEL), allowing educators to analyze best practices for fostering a safe and empowering classroom environment. Through interactive activities - including engaging with vocabulary, analyzing primary sources and images, and participating in restorative circles - educators will reflect on how the unit's design contrasts with traditional approaches to history. Participants will be guided to reflect on the culturally responsive elements and SEL strategies embedded in this approach, identifying ways to transfer these practices into their own classrooms. Whether or not educators plan to teach the unit on Local History, Redlining, and Resistance in Westchester County, they will leave equipped with new tools and insights for supporting critical thinking and equity-focused discussions among their students.
