SUMMARY:The Power of Balance: A Community of Practice
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Balance: A community of practice for educators to find joy\, connect\, reflect\, and create songs together. Each workshop will be unique and build toward a final group creation. No prior musical knowledge is necessary\, though all skills are welcomed. Some segments of these workshops will include exercises\, but there will also be ample opportunity for discovery and entering a creative flow—a mindset characterized by imaginative play and restorative benefits. As the aim is to foster a community of practice\, meeting others in a safe and collaborative environment will be encouraged\, along with personal exploration.

SUMMARY:Providing Sex Education with Cultural Humility
DESCRIPTION:Do you incorporate reproductive justice in your education? Do you know how to properly use the theory of intersectionality? Are you culturally humble? Many educators are unaware of how culture can influence the way comprehensive sex education is taught by teachers and received by students. Our workshop focus of cultural humility allows educators to develop their ability to build appreciation for the diversity of cultures found inside and outside of their classrooms\, which helps to increase their inclusivity. This training will address the difference between cultural proficiency/competency and cultural humility\, measure one’s own intercultural humility using the Intercultural Development Continuum\, as well as concrete definitions and activities.

DESCRIPTION:The Power of Balance: A community of practice for educators to find joy\, connect\, reflect\, and create songs together. Each workshop will be unique and build toward a final group creation. No prior musical knowledge is necessary\, though all skills are welcomed.

SUMMARY:Opening Up History: On the Road to Brown v. Board of Education
DESCRIPTION:The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case is hailed as a milestone in American progress but did you know that Black Americans\, Mexican Americans\, Indigenous Americans\, and Asian Americans were fighting for equal access to public education before the famous 1954 case? We will take up the intriguing history of school desegregation through a pluralistic lens by exploring some case studies before 1954: Roberts v. City of Boston (1849\, Black American)\, Tape v. Hurley (1885\, Chinese American)\, Piper v. Big Pine (1924\, Indigenous American)\, Lum v. Rice (1927\, Chinese American)\, Mendez v. Westminster (1947\, Mexican American)\, and a New Jersey case Hedgepeth and Williams v. Board of Education\, Trenton (1944\, Black Americans). These legal cases highlight the reality of American pluralism. We will complicate the story of school desegregation by asking: Do you teach in an integrated school? Lesson plans adapted for K-5 and 6-12 will be made available to participants.
