Presented by H. Richard Milner IV

Hear firsthand from Richard Milner what classroom learning could be if we strive for more culturally responsive and equitable environments—environments that are safe, affirming, learner-centered, intellectually challenging, and engaging. Explore six ways to reimagine “classroom management” and to preempt last-resort punishment practices—practices like office referrals, suspension, and expulsion, which largely “exclude” students of color and those who may live below the poverty line. A must-attend for teachers and school leaders working with diverse student populations!

Attend this webinar for expert insight on how to get started.

Shame-bound readers want someone to notice them. It’s true. But then what does a teacher do to help students? In this session, participants will learn about Gershen Kaufman’s seminal research on shame and how it can be applied to the reading classroom to build relationships, make vulnerability ok, and bring out every student’s aptitude -and appetite – for books.
