Professional Development
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
– James Baldwin

Workshops
Interactive workshops and presentations include: culturally relevant and sustaining teaching in reading/writing workshop; teaching and talking about race and racism; creating a culture of reading through book clubs; planning a unit using the educator’s guide to Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi
