Course Description: 

Are you interested in engaging with other educators around centering Black students’ brilliance, histories, identities, and cultures in the classroom? Are you looking to move from learning about culturally relevant pedagogy to putting that knowledge into action? Do you have college- and career-ready standards-aligned ELA materials, but know they aren’t enough? Wherever you are at in your journey toward creating more equitable learning spaces for all students, we welcome you to join us in a new asynchronous course this November through mid-February! 

This course will explore adapting K-12 standards-aligned literacy materials with a focus on cultural responsiveness. You will engage with the following topics in order to support your growth in purpose, pedagogy, and practice:

• Knowledge of Self and Others, including a focus on Black brilliance 
• Dr. Gholdy Muhammad’s Historically Responsive Literacy Framework
• Equitable Design Thinking  
• Building Community 

This course will develop your knowledge of LGBTQ+ experiences and perspectives with an intersectional focus. In this course we highlight the importance of working through individual learning and mindset before bringing new content and practices into your school or classroom. You will learn about laws, policies, and opportunities for advocacy, as well as gain practical strategies to implement in your context.
