[McKevitt, Susan]

Hi,

A friend is doing advanced workshops in a local high school on racism
and would like some examples of ideas and perhaps curricula that either
DO or DO NOT work to move the conversation in a positive way.  I have
attached some of her message below so you get the picture. She is an
experienced trainer on the subject. The quick part of this is her
presentation is on Th. of this week (Nov 30).

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

 

 

Successful Interactions Across Race Differences

race, other isms)

models: 60 min

          --what schools are doing that works (and that doesn't work)

          --what teachers are doing that works (and that doesn't work)

          --what creates good community climate regarding interrupting
racism (or bad climate)

discussion of the impact of these models on classrooms and hallways and
student morale

???

evaluation and wrap up.

 

 

I spent some time surfing around the Teaching Tolerance website on
Friday.  

 

My question for you is can you point me toward some information for the
models section, which is the same as the "What schools are doing that
works" section...

 

This is my immediate need,
