January English Department Half-Day Retreat

We did a curriculum review using the “Teaching Tolerance Anti-Bias Framework” and discussed our findings. We shared best practices: Jane shared about building in a service learning component within her Immigration elective and Candace W. talked about the weekly block she’s been using to do identity work with her 6th graders. At the end of the morning, Candace W. ran a “seed” workshop where we jotted down ideas for something we could change or try by the May retreat, inspired by with the work with the framework or the best practices.
