- Before the meeting, I asked the department to read Examining Learning Through an Anti-Racist Lens.
- We started by asking everyone to spend a minute to write down all the things they loved about zoom teaching. Then we shared some stories about our successes.
- Next, we walked through the slides I had prepared for the article.
- Developing an Anti-racist Curriculum – Slide https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/16aImFOP8yEa6WQmlphvEz7W6cp6pn02s2eRC0pNGCOI/edit#slide=id.ga9d275dd1c_0_53
- Our discussion was on what element the department would decide as our focus.
- We quickly decided that we would spend our time Interegating our Curriculum.
- Shared had already prepared a slide deck that gave us criteria for assessing how much progress we had made on developing a fully anti-racist curriculum.
- Using this we went into breakout groups middle school in one high school in the other. We discussed our courses and shared some of the units we felt were most successful.
- When we came back to the main room we talked about developing a common rubric for assessing our progress.
- Next, meeting we build on this start by looking at our work in more systematic ways.
