EduCon 2023

SLA Teacher and author Matthew Kay will lead educators in collectively breaking down film from two class conversations, one about the Confederate flag, and one about Colin Kaepernick. Both will force us to test what we think we believe about how (or if) such conversations should happen in the classroom.

The act of breaking down and discussing film will force us to leave the theoretical space and ask ourselves what we would do in certain situations. It will also allow us to see the real-time impact of certain prompting styles. There will be disagreement among like minds in the room, which should make the conversation useful, and not just a back-patting session.
