Level 3:
A TWO-DAY IN-DEPTH WORKSHOP
Developing a welcoming and justice-centered classroom climate starts long before the learners arrive. It begins with educators interrogating systemic inequities and understanding their community. For equity to be present, learners must be taught the skills to be independent thinkers and brave agents of change. Britt's proven LEAD framework fosters a learner-centered classroom. Educators are led through activities to revamp classroom routines, rules, procedures, and expectations. A detailed outline for parent communication and concerns is also discussed and provided.
Testimonials
Kristin Tosello
I have done quite a few ABAR trainings, and I think the one that Britt does is by far the most accessible training I have ever attended. I feel like the way that Britt presents makes it so that everyone (regardless of whether this is their first ABAR workshop or their 20th) can feel like this is work they can do. It is very empowering and feels like something anyone can start working on.
Patty Griffin
This was one of the best workshops I have ever attended. It was clear and focused. She modeled how to talk to children and parents in constructive ways. The language she used was positive and promoted dialogue and further learning. She demonstrated how to hold kids accountable while empowering them to teach others.
Diana RuaVera
This was an incredible workshop to take. Britt honors you as a person and pushes you to think more mindfully of everyone. This workshop was engaging and challenged the way you think and therefore act. I am so grateful to have this stepping stone as one of many for our school to start anti-bias and antiracist education.
