E-mail from the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site, with a training opportunity for teachers:
In Their Own Voices workshop
October 20-21, 2012
Arkansas Dept. of Education professional development workshop at Little Rock Central High School NHS
Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site invites Arkansas educators and community advocates to participate in a two day workshop focusing on challenging racism prevalent in and out of the classroom and the community. This program, an approved ADE professional development workshop, will bring participants together for an open reflection and dialogue on the effects of racism and the diversity of our own self-understanding. The overarching goal for our In Their Own Voices workshop is to afford our participants an opportunity to identify their own biases and feel comfortable in their space to approach such issues as race, bullying, tolerance and other-isms in the classroom and the community. To apply, please click attachment below and send to Agnolia Gay at agnolia.gay@gmail.com
Move quickly! (That’s this weekend.) If anyone from Dallas is headed up, please let me know.
