We're Gonna' Keep on Talking!: Leading Conversations about Race in the Elementary Classroom

Session 5

Matthew Kay, Jennifer Orr — SLA/Stenhouse Publishers

In this session, author-educators Matthew Kay and Jennifer Orr will lead a discussion that tackles the biggest questions head-on: "Are students ever too young for race conversations?", "What does success in race conversations look like with our littlest learners?", and "Can I even do ANY of this without getting in trouble?"

Jenn and I will lead discussions around these questions, and then share some of the more useful strategies from our upcoming book on the topic.

Conversational Practice
