Wait ListStarting Soon This class is a FREE 15 hour hybrid course for Lower Hudson Teacher Center Network (LTCN) consortium members only. In this course, you will learn how to create learning conditions where children can ask the questions they want to ask, muddle through how to say things they are thinking, and have tough conversations around topics such as race, gender, politics, religion, and sexuality, which are a part of their lives. As Sara Ahmed states in her book "Being the Change,” "There is no magic formula for making the world a better place.” It happens in the moments we embrace discomfort and have candid conversations” (2018). This is exactly what we will do as we look at some of the lessons and strategies that are shared in her book "Being the Change” (2018). (Purchasing the book is not required for this course).
This course will have three mandatory Zoom meetings from 7:30 - 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 13th, Tuesday, April 20th and Tuesday, April 27th (optional/voluntary check-in Zoom meeting on Tuesday, May 4th from 7:30 - 8:30 p.m.). In addition to the synchronous sessions there will be an additional 12 hours of asynchronous work on the Schoology platform.
