Marginal Syllabus—Electing to Heal: Trauma, Healing, and Politics in the Classroom

October 30, 2018
04:00 pm - 05:00 pm PST
By Educator Innovator

Join Antero Garcia, co-author of “Electing to Heal: Trauma, Healing, and Politics in Classrooms,” for a conversation about ways educators can address trauma and create safe, relational, anti-oppressive classrooms in this age of vitriolic political rhetoric about issues facing women and people of color. Garcia is joined by educator Sarah Woodard and the co-founders of Marginal Syllabus, Remi Kalir and Joe Dillon, for a discussion of the text, which is the featured article this month for Literacy, Equity + Remarkable Notes (LEARN), which explores the intersection of literacy and equity in partnership with the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) and Educator Innovator.
