Workshop: Anti-Racism in the Remote Classroom

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly disrupted K-12 education. Please join us this summer for a virtual series, offered by the Rutgers Graduate School of Education, on creating supportive, engaging and equitable learning experiences for students in this new environment. 

This series highlights the reflections and expertise of a diverse set of educators, parents, community members and faculty as we, together, consider and plan for the new challenges we will face in the upcoming school year. 

Classroom conversations about and curricular engagement with race, racism and equity are essential. Remote learning settings pose a particular set of challenges for addressing these  topics. This session will focus on how to sensitively, honestly and effectively engage in this critical work in the remote classroom.

Organizers are Dr. Laura Arredondo, Hunterdon Central Regional High Shool; Samanthan Bruno, Edison Township Public Schools; Monique Coleman, VISTAS Education Partners; Dr. Mary Curran, Rutgers GSE; Amanda Dominquez, New Labor; Dr. Caroline Clauss-Ehlers, Rutgers GSE, Marina Feldman, Rutgers Graduate School of Education; Brandi Gustafson, Dr. Judith Harrison, Rutgers GSE, New Brunswick Public Schools; Jessica Hunsdon, Rutgers Graduate School of Education; Dr. Michelle Smith Macchia, Rutgers University; Orion Nolan, Manville School District; Kristy Clementina Perez, Baruch College/CUNY; Dr. Beth Rubin, Rutgers Graduate School of Education; Dr. Nicholas Solomon, Franklin Township Public Schools; Dr. Lennox Small, New Brunswick Public Schools, Anel V.
