On July 26-29, 2021 Re-imagining Migration is offering a unique online learning experience for K-12 teachers, school administrators, and education professionals.
What do young people need to know, understand, and be able to do in a world of migration and change?
This seminar will introduce participants to the Re-imagining Migration’s approach to advancing the education and well-being of immigrant-origin youth, decreasing bias and hatred against young people of diverse origins, and helping rising generations develop the critical understanding and empathy necessary to build and sustain welcoming and inclusive communities. During the course of the online seminar participants will engage in a blend of instruction, interaction with leading scholars and inspiring educators, and reflection on the construction of learning experiences designed to ensure that young people grow up understanding migration as a shared condition of our past, present, and future.
Participants will:
-
- Engage with leading scholars of im/migration and education.
- Experience, understand and learn to apply Re-imagining Migration’s framework
- Learn how to create, assess, and sustain inclusive environments that signal belonging and respect for immigrant-origin students, their peers, and the broader educational community.
- Experience and learn to apply and customize Re-imagining Migration’s learning arc and approach to curriculum design.
