How do we build the schools, classrooms, and learning communities that every student needs and deserves? What role do teachers play in creating these conditions and possibilities?
Join the Antiracist Teaching and Learning Collective and Rethinking Schools online on Wednesday, March 1st, at 4pm to consider these questions and more. Continuing the conversation among teachers and students, which began in the February 2022 webinar Beyond “Schools in Crisis,” this discussion brings together educators, students, and community organizers from across the United States to examine the realities we face in our schools. In this webinar, we will ask: Where do we go from here? We’ll explore not only the possibilities that we dream of, but those that already exist in our classrooms, our schools, and our communities.
