Champlain Valley Educator Development Center (CVEDC-ESA)

Target Audience: Educators K-12

Sessions are offered on Zoom monthly on Thursdays right after school!

Workshop Description

Using restorative practices to build a brave space, we will meet to apply mindfulness principles and practices to our journeys as anti-racist educators with the goal of developing discomfort resilience surfacing:

• implicit bias
• fears of “getting” it wrong,
• gaps in our knowledge,
• and racial identity development awareness.

Meeting monthly, we will seek to cultivate the courage, discernment, and vulnerability needed to “dare greatly”, as Brené Brown says; to use our power and privilege to speak out, educate, and lead in this country’s journey towards racial justice and equity.

• As part of this cohort, you will be asked to read one article or book excerpt per month.
