Washington State ASCD is pleased to present the Spring/Summer 2021 Issue of Curriculum In Context: Where do we go from here? Teaching, leading, and learning after 2020 (PDF)

Professional educators have been adopting and reimagining our work for fifteen months now, and let’s be honest: we are all tired. We’ve seen the public shift their sentiments from the messaging around the heroic educators on the front lines to the selfish teachers who won’t bargain with the districts to get kids back to school.

If you recognize how the deep roots of systemic oppression, namely racism, impact your work as an educator, this series of professional development is for you! In this series, DOING Racial Justice in Education, we will examine the intersection of your impact as an educator and the deep roots of systemic racism. In both PART A: Teaching & Learning Liberated and PART B: Amplifying & Centering BIPOC Students’ Stories we will address knowledge/mindsets and skills/tools for continually growing as antiracist educators and in our ability to serve all BIPOC students—particularly those who are poverty-impacted and those with exceptionalities.
