It’s Never Too Soon: Talking About Race, Power and Identity in Early Elementary School

*Times are Listed in EST

So often we are asked, aren’t they too young to talk about their identities, particularly race, power, and gender in early elementary school? What we have found is that K-2nd grade students are not only open to these conversations, but that, when addressed at a young age, they are able to continue these conversations as they get older and have a deeper understanding of how their identities impact their experiences. In this workshop we will look at how an anti-bias lens allows for these conversations to be embedded into every day lessons and conversations.  Participants will learn from sample lessons that address these issues and have an opportunity to think about the implication in their own lessons, units, and/or read alouds.

Facilitators: Blair Welsh, Michelle McCree-Harrison

*Early Bird Deadline: April 12, 2023
