Social Justice Presentations 2

The DKG California STEP committee has created 3 more social justice presentations for your enjoyment, reflection and personal/professional development. These presentations can be used by individuals or groups or even for chapter programs. 

Please read the following descriptions to learn what each presentation has to offer:

How To Be an Antiracist Ally

View this presentation to learn what you can do to be an antiracist ally. Are you unsure about what is entailed with being an antiracist and/or ally? This presentation will help to clarify the terms as well as give you ideas of actions you can take. 

Racism

This presentation answers the question: What is racism? It also explains how race is a socially constructed concept rather than biological fact. It encourages you to consider the role of race and racism in your life. 

Teaching With the Social Justice Standards

This presentation provides information about what the social justice standards are and where you can find them in addition to other resources to support the teaching of social justice topics. There are also tips for how to get started with this sort of teaching in your classroom.

    So excited about this--on Saturday, we had a chapter meeting organized around hearing from a racial justice expert, Ama Nyameke, and we discussed ways to be an advocate and ally for racial justice in the classroom. One way, is to make sure to get out and vote for more funding for our schools--vote YES on Prop 15 and Prop 17--and other ways are reading/educating ourselves about institutional racism and getting involved via donations and advocacy.

How Times Have Changed: Technology in the Classroom

  In 2001 Larry Cuban wrote Oversold and Underused (978-6674011090). The book acknowledged teachers not having the power to use technological resources to teach and empower their students. Teachers were mostly told what curriculum was acceptable and had to follow strict guidelines for computer usage. Dr. Cuban would go on to do more research in this area and the area of reforming curriculum throughout the school systems. His articles span the k-15 level inclusive of special education. In the magazine The Journal (vol. 34, no. 6) printed in June 2007, the article on how to keep the cords and wires neat in the classroom setting caught my attention    The entire volume was devoted to technology in the classroom that was relevant at the time. There were articles on computers, in the classroom as well as how to use an interactive whiteboard. We have gone past cords and wires. We are no longer fascinated by whiteboards.   We have promoted to Chromebooks and laptops. W...

Black History Month Books

It has come to the attention of the Support Team for Emerging Professionals that there   are many “new” books on Black History and Awareness.   We would like to share the website linked below which has a list of some of these titles and authors.

Can hold visuals to help cement the learning. Can help to make expectations really clear. Can be used to illustrate processes as well as examples of what work should look like. Can be used for behavioral as well as academic information. Tips for creating really high quality anchor charts: Make a plan ahead of time but create charts while the children are present. Have children do some of the writing. Add as many visuals as possible, students can even help pick which pictures to use. Use as few words as possible. Use dark ink for the text of the chart, preferably black, use colored ink for emphasis. Simple drawings can be just as powerful as compl...
