Jayne Sohn
Jayne Sohn has been an educator since 2001 and, in that time, she has taught students from 4th through 8th grades in both Los Angeles and New York City. Since 2009, she has been a teacher at Community Roots Charter School in Brooklyn, New York, a Roots ConnectED learning site. In addition to teaching, Jayne has served as a department head, developed curriculum for multiple grade levels, and currently serves as its Coordinator of Equity and Anti-Bias Education. Jayne is also one of the founding members of the Anti-Bias Education Collective (ABC) where she facilitates anti-bias education workshops for staff and families. She has been an educational coach and workshop facilitator for Roots ConnectED since 2016, where she has supported educators and school leaders in adopting anti-bias education approaches to classroom culture and curriculum development with a focus on critical literacy and social studies, as well as supporting staff development around how our own identities, power, and privilege impact the work we do. Jayne believes this work is essential to helping dismantle the biased and oppressive beliefs/systems/institutions that continue to keep us divided and maintain injustices.
