Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Resources

Learning for Justice (formerly Teaching Tolerance) has the following webinars that you may find very informative and helpful.  The whole list can be found here:  Professional Development.  Some that you may want to watch specifically for anti-bias and social justice are:

• The Color of Law - Join Teaching Tolerance and Director Maureen Costello as we explore the role of U.S. segregation in everything from housing to employment to wealth accumulation—and the policies that made it all happen. Tune in to learn why the “bootstraps theory” doesn’t hold up and gain some useful tools for your classroom practice.

• Teaching Hard History - Slavery - Grades K - 5 - Join Teaching Tolerance for a deep dive into our brand-new Teaching Hard History framework for grades K–5! Participants will learn how our elementary framework centers the stories of enslaved people to teach the history of American slavery in a way that is both age-appropriate and accessible.

• Teaching Hard History: American Slavery - With Teaching Hard History, we’re calling on American educators, curriculum writers and policy makers to confront the fact that slavery and racial injustice are not only a foundational part of the nation’s past, but a continuing influence on the present.

• Teaching Hard History - Creating Better Lessons about Slavery

• Social Justice Activities for Elementary - Help young students learn the meaning and value of Identity, Diversity, Justice and Action—the four domains of the Teaching Tolerance Social Justice Standards. Find out how to implement these activities in your classroom with this exciting webinar!

• Let's Talk: Discussing Race, Racism, and Other Difficult Topics with Students  - Join NEA and Teaching Tolerance for our second of three school-climate webinars. This time, we will provide guidance on how to have relevant and rigorous conversations with students about race, racism and other important topics.
