The West Tisbury Library invites you to join us on Zoom for an anti-racist workshop presented by Boston’s Wee the People. This workshop is open to all, and is recommended to librarians, teachers, parents and anyone who works or interacts with children across the Island.
About the workshop:
More and more, education leaders are awakening to the urgent need to teach for racial equity. But for the vast majority of US schools, this poses an enormous challenge: It requires teachers to adopt approaches and build content knowledge that they themselves were never taught, either as children or as adults. And it requires them to unlearn dominant narratives that have long distorted history and devalued people of the global majority.
In this workshop, educators will take a deep dive into curriculum and begin the work of radically reframing the received knowledge, assumptions and lenses that serve to maintain inequity and injustice.
