Raising Change Makers: Teaching Social Action

One of the most powerful things we can do for our students is create space for them to process what has happened, and what is happening, in our country. The history of our country is one of horrific terror, trauma, and pain. We have a responsibility to help students feel, imagine, and take action in a way that allows them to learn from humanity's history of resistance, resilience, and hope as a way to create paths of action for the future.  For years, people throughout history and in current times have worked together to dismantle institutionalized and interpersonal racism.  We know education has a role in this work. In this workshop, educators will walk away with a framework for thinking about social action with their students and concrete ways in which to support their children to know that their voices and actions matter in creating change.
