This conversation follows the implementation of an afterschool program whose goal is to help young women of color confront the compounded racism and sexism in their lives. Student participants will engage us in a exploration of how Black girls might be uniquely impacted by school policies and how schools can support the healthy development of Black girls.
How can regular education/academic settings learn from the principles employed in career and technical education to maximize student engagement and learning? This conversation will focus on six key components that “tech does differently,” which all school settings may be able to leverage for their own success.
How do self-expression and vulnerability create connection in a new community? At South Bronx Community, we designed an intensive summer bridge experience, akin to summer camp, focused on building community and introducing social/emotional skills, self expression and vulnerability. Hear how we build students’ sense of belonging from the beginning.
In our school, students leave the minute the bell rings--it's great for our custodians but not so great for our school community. This conversation's aim is to brainstorm solutions to building better school communities. How can we engage and foster unity for students who have one foot out the door?
A panel of students and staff members will present the highlights of our middle school Advisory Model and answer your questions about the benefits and logistics of practical implementation of an Advisory Model in your school.
Ser bilingüe vale por dos, pero un bilingual person is not two monolinguals in one body. What languages do you and your students bring to the classroom? How can you empower your students (and yourself) to connect and grow in a multilingual world? All language backgrounds welcome - monolingual, bilingual, and beyond!
