Tools for Conversations about Race in the Classroom and Indigenous Authors

2024 THE LODGE APPROACH EDUCATORS’ CONFERENCE

Let’s Ignite Student Success

Tools for Conversations about Race in the Classroom and Indigenous Authors

Delve into tools and strategies for facilitating conversations about race and other challenging topics in classrooms. We will examine methods for fostering safe and open learning environments through a storied journey in education. Teachers play a crucial role in promoting critical thinking, community engagement, and deeper learning. Additionally, we will explore the rich opportunities books offer for discussions about race, with a particular focus on works by Indigenous authors and books.
