'Undoing Racism and Teaching Equity to Children'
All WMS parents, guardians & educators are invited to participate in this important workshop TODAY.
REGISTER NOW to receive the Zoom link! (Thanks to the dozens who have already done so!)
–> Spanish and Somali translation available.
The FREE workshop is 5-7 pm TODAY (June 16). Trainers from Families Of Color Seattle (FOCS) will lead an online dialogue workshop where parents/guardians and educators will grow their understanding of systemic racism and creating inclusive and anti-racist learning spaces for children.
 Trainers Christine Tang and Adana Protonentis will help us unpack what this looks like for Black children and other children of color. The dialogue will focus on deeper self-awareness of power, privilege, and review scenarios for informed best practices. We will have affinity breakout rooms, in understanding and support of Black and Brown parents who are hurting and need safe spaces for discussion.
Together through sharing narratives, we work towards the goal of increasing parent and practitioner engagement in undoing racism, growing inclusive spaces for children of color, raising all children with anti-oppression values, and supporting kids in wake of racialized violence.
To help create a safe space for discussion, we must ask participants to register in advance. All Washington MS parents, guardians and educators are welcome. (There is no fee.)
