Pollyanna K-8 Racial Literacy Curriculum Professional Development
Event Information
Description
This is the Racial Literacy toolkit schools have been waiting for! Pollyanna's Racial Literacy Curriculum for Grades K-8 is designed to help students gain knowledge about race as it has been constructed in the United States. It also supports students in acquiring an awareness of their own racial socialization and skills for engaging in productive conversations about race and racism. Our workshop will introduce this newly developed curriculum, which will be released to schools free of charge in Spring 2019. Together, we'll review curricular highlights of each grade, so educators can better understand how to incorporate race into their teaching. After taking this workshop, participants will feel more confident and inspired to incorporate race dialogue and content into their classroom.
Join us for a 3-hour overview and in-depth discussion of Pollyanna's K-8 Racial Literacy Curriculum. Monique Vogelsang, lead creator of this curriculum, will guide you through a discussion about each grade, followed with a Q&A.
This professional development is appropriate for K-8 faculty, curriculum advisors and administrators.
A light breakfast will be served.
Cost is $250 per person.
Thank you to the Dalton School for hosting this event.
