Good Morning and Happy Friday!
The ELA supervisor in my district shared this out with us today and I thought some of you may be interested in participating or would like to pass it along to your teachers. Sounds amazing and like something each one of us could benefit from. I am registering and hoping I have time to follow through with the videos and work!
Let me know if anyone else signs up--maybe we can plan a gathering or two to work together or debrief!
If you want to learn more from Lorena German, author of Textured Teaching, consider this free, self-paced course in March and Aprul : Putting Anti-Racist Literacy Instruction Into Practice -- Explore how to put the four core pillars of #DisruptTexts into practice with co-founder of #DisruptTexts Lorena Germán. Engage in three asynchronous learning modules (~four hours total) that include grade-band specific text examples featuring diverse cultural identities in a variety of genres. Wrap up this experience in a live Q&A with Lorena German herself. More info in this course brochure.
Have a great day,
Melissa
