Training Overview
How does your school foster equity in learning? Decolonize your curriculum this year.
As the new year begins, families continue to want students to study topics and perspectives representative of their backgrounds. People learn more when they identify with the subject matter, and traditional reading instruction may not provide the equity parents and students expect.
Now is the time to decolonize reading instruction to engage historically underserved students and foster literacy. More than just throwing another book or two onto reading lists, you must actively examine your entire program to ensure equitable representation in content, instructional methods, and participation.
