Courageous Conversations and Culturally Relevant Teaching
Presenters
Jamie Almanzán (Primary)
Director of Learning and Teaching
Pacific Educational Group
Description
This interactive presentation is drawn from a powerful and personally transforming workshop designed to help teachers, parents, and administrators consider the implications of racism, exclusion, and prejudice on student learning. Participants will engage in a thoughtful exploration of racism and how it manifests today in our culture and in our schools. A critical outcome is an awareness of the degree to which racism and other diversity issues are part of educational failure. Jamie Almanzán, Director of Learning and Teaching at Pacific Educational Group, will discuss strategies for identifying and addressing policies and practices that negatively impact students’ ability to meet rigorous academic standards.
