Hello Colleagues, Friends, and DEI Allies and Experts,
I would like to cordinally invite you all to the Helping Educators Be on the Right Side of History Virtual Summit 2021 powered by Teach to Lead (see website here: https://www.charpdei.com/).
Join me and other DEI experts, discussing DEI the 1619 Project, along with 14 sessions on diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice (see full schedule below).
The Helping Educators Be on the Right Side of History Virtual Summit 2021 strives to inspire systemic improvements to benefit student learning and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in education.
The Summit, powered by Teach to Lead, will feature a panel on the controversial 1619 project, moderated by historian, Jason Steinhauer, along with 14 breakout sessions led by DEI experts from all over the country.
The main focus of the summit is the 1619 Project. The 1619 Project is an ongoing initiative from The New York Times Magazine that began in August 2019 the 400th anniversary of the beginning of American slavery. It aims to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of African Americans at the very center of our national narrative.
For those who don't know, in 2020, I wrote Revisiting The 1619 Project: A Heartfelt Response During a Racialized Pandemic (pgs. 71-75) about my personal reflections of the 1619 Project in the publication All About Mentoring as well as ran a SUNY Empire State College-Center for Mentoring Teaching and Academic Innovation discussion group on the topic.
In 2021, I was part of a 2021 SUNY Empire State College Reason and Respect panel, Telling the Truth About Ourselves, with other DEI experts that addressed the intersections of the 1619 Project and Trump's 1776 Commission Report.
Don’t miss the opportunity to network and share ideas with teachers from all over the nation to discuss topics centered around diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. You will definitely leave with a new perspective on K-12 education.
