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

    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.

Resources For Teaching For Racial Justice

We are all watching the demonstrations happening right now in response to the many years of discrimination and oppression of people of color and wondering what we can do as educators to help ensure that our society does better moving forward. As educators we have the power and the ability to be part of the solution. There are many resources available that can help guide us on that journey. We hope that the books,websites and resources below will empower you to help make the change that is needed right now.  We must also acknowledge that every teacher comes to issues of race differently based on their own experiences and identity/ies. White educators have a special responsibility to increase their own understanding and to listen when they are fortunate enough to hear about the experiences of their colleagues of color. However, we must ensure that the burden of informing others about the history and experience of racism does not rest on the shoulders of our colleagues and fr

THE WOMEN WHO ARE THE SUPPORT TEAM FOR EMERGING PROFESSIONALS: S.T.E.P. 2022-2023

The support team for Emerging Professionals has had a very busy and enlightening biennium. We have written articles, attended International, State and local conferences, added to our blog and are ready for our second “Penne Party” to honor the Penne Ferrell Grant recipients. We had successful Tuesday Teacher Talks/tips on important educational issues as well. Thank You DKG for supporting our team's efforts. CHRISTINA CLEMONS I am a recovered & "non-math person"! I've been teaching Middle School math for 9 years but I started out as an early elementary teacher so that I wouldn't have to teach, what I considered to be, "math". After teaching 2nd grade in Florida, and through lots of twists and turns, I was offered a teaching job in Oakland, California in January of 2015. I took over a 5/6 GATE class and 6th grade math after their teacher had left in November. I began taking as many math courses as I could from City College of San Francisco and ended up

Penne Ferrell Award

  Penne Ferrell Awards as a Recruitment Tool                Penne Ferrell was a longtime member of Epsilon Omicron chapter in Orange County. She had a great passion for education and literacy, mentoring new teachers and Delta Kappa Gamma. In honor of her love for our organization, California State received a bequest from her estate that was used to create the Penne Ferrell fund. Non-member educators in their first three years of assignment are eligible to apply for a Penne Ferrell grant for reading resources. The Penne Ferrell fund ensures that every single year many emerging educators have a resource to help establish their libraries. We know that the size of a teacher’s classroom library has been linked to the level of literacy achievement for their students so nothing could be more important than building those libraries as quickly as possible. The Penne Ferrell awards are a great potential resource in recruiting new members. When we are thinking of who to recommend for
