Fortifying the Work: Towards Anti-Oppressive Practices for Early Career Teachers

Audience: Classroom Teachers, Building Leaders, District Leaders, Parents/Caregivers, Community Members, School of Education Faculty and Staff

In this dynamic and interactive Virtual Coffeehouse, Fortifying the Work: Towards Anti-Oppressive Practices for Early Career Teachers, we will build from our discussions during the Fall 2021 Virtual Coffeehouse—Fortifying Ourselves: Critical Consciousness for Early Career Teachers—and leverage insights on the importance of developing and/or cultivating one’s critical consciousness, but move more explicitly into discussions on pedagogy and practice. Educators within the MAP Center’s 13-state region will discuss implications, considerations, and practices for driving one’s pedagogy to be more culturally responsive and sustaining to better realize a robust, equity-oriented classroom.
