Saturday Seminar: Emerging and Converging with Equity
 
 

Saturday Seminar Series 2018-2019: Emerging and Converging on Equity

The Bay Area Writing, Science, and Mathematics Projects are creating the next generation professional growth experiences converging on the use of writing as a sense-making tool in the content areas.

We are generating new synergies to provide the teachers we serve with hands-on experiences to strengthen their capacity to support students communicating their conceptual understanding and reasoning. We need to do all this through a framework of equity.

Join a vibrant community of teachers and other educational leaders convening through UC Berkeley with a commitment to equity through practice-based in research.

Sept. 29, 2018 Keynote Speaker: Darrick Smith Ed.D

Gloria Ladson-Billings' notion of "culturally relevant pedagogy" has continued to be a popular pedagogical approach within the broader educational community as schools continue to face the many challenges and benefits that come with ever diversifying student populations. However, many educators still find themselves unclear and confused when considering how to apply the concept across various subject areas and school culture work. This session will attempt to address critical questions regarding the possibilities for the collective embracing and implementation of a culturally relevant pedagogy at your school site.
