Join us for a three-day institute dedicated to exploring best practices in Ethnic Studies. This professional learning opportunity is designed for educators seeking practical, research-based strategies to create more inclusive and responsive classrooms. You may register for one, two or all three days of the institute.
Day One kicks off with a morning session led by Dr. Bryant T. Marks of Morehouse College, a national expert in cultural competence. Dr. Marks will provide in-depth training on recognizing and addressing microaggressions in educational settings.
In the afternoon, Facing History and Ourselves will guide participants through effective strategies for leading classroom discussions on controversial issues, fostering student engagement while maintaining a respectful learning environment.
Throughout the day, attendees will gain hands-on experience in designing culturally responsive Ethnic Studies classrooms. You’ll leave with concrete tools, expert insights and ready to use strategies to immediately apply in your teaching practice.
