Setting the Stage for Anti-Racist and Culturally Responsive Classrooms

Online Only | Educators will begin to explore and incorporate what it means to teach using the Illinois Culturally Responsive Teaching and Leading Standards. Teachers will increase their awareness of the impact of trauma, racism, and inequity on students. They will also examine bias, culturally responsive teaching and navigate how to build a classroom culture that is safe and welcoming for all students. Educators will engage in and facilitate activities that incorporate resources that empower participants to use collective and self-guided reflections and discussions that incorporate culturally responsive interactions and learning. Educators will demonstrate the ability to construct lessons and engage in conversations that are culturally responsive. They will also learn to make meaningful connections between students’ cultures, language, life experiences, and school.

This professional development activity is aligned to the ISBE and National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and the CPS Framework for Teaching Components:  1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3c, 3e, 4a, 4c, 4e.
