SUMMARY:Restorative Justice in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:When students are scared\, uncomfortable\, unseen\, or not served by systems\, they act out. Restorative justice practices quell the fear\, bridge the comfort\, make visible those who hid behind masks before the fear manifested in disruption. Too much of what educators do in schools is reactive to “behavior” issues\, expecting we can put band-aids on bullet wounds and call it a day. Counter to traditional disciplinary methods in schools\, restorative practices are proactive in setting up classrooms where students are seen and given opportunities to share their voices. In this workshop\, educators will learn how to develop community circles and online restorative practices as they participate in virtual circles\, spectrum\, and community building activities. \nCamila Arze Torres Goitia teaches Social Studies at Roosevelt High School in Portland\, Oregon. She is an Oregon Writing Project coach and frequently publishes in Rethinking Schools magazines and books.REGISTER HERE \nThis event is part of the online workshop series from Rethinking Schools called Teaching for Social Justice During the Pandemic: Lessons from The New Teacher Book. Join The New Teacher Book editors\, authors\, and early career teacher-scholars who wrote and shaped this book. Sign up for the entire workshop series or sign up for one workshop at a time.  \nSpace is limited in these workshops to 30 participants.  \nWorkshops will not be recorded. ASL interpretation is available by request. Registrants will be emailed a special discount code for The New Teacher Book. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cookie Mining as Critical Pedagogy?
DESCRIPTION:Bill Bigelow\, renowned curriculum editor of Rethinking Schools magazine and co-director of the Zinn Education Project\, will join writer Mark Nowak\, founding director of the Worker Writers School and Professor of English at Manhattanville College\, in a public conversation about critical pedagogy in the classroom. Using Nowak’s book Coal Mountain Elementary\, which Howard Zinn called “a stunning educational tool\,” Bigelow and Nowak will discuss how documentary poetry and classroom pedagogy can help us to think creatively about interdisciplinary methods in which educators\, students\, and families interact in the classroom. \n\nThe hope is to motivate us to re-make remote and in-person classrooms as spaces in which healing and teacher creativity are reignited and curricula engage the critical pedagogy that poor and working poor black\, brown\, and rural white students need to understand and be agents in changing the social conditions of their lives. \n\nFor over 30 years in Oregon\, social studies teacher Bigelow has long shown us how to use the classroom at the level of the public as a space of powerful social critique and change. He has demonstrated how to use classroom “curriculum and instruction” to intellectually\, socially\, and emotionally empower young people and build their academic skills to engage with intention and great purpose in their lives as young people and\, later\, adults. \n\nNowak has been awarded the Guggenheim\, Lannan\, and Creative Capital awards for his global documentary work in South Africa\, Europe\, the US\, and the Panamá. His newest book\, Social Poetics\, documents a people’s history of the poetry workshop from the Watts and Attica uprisings to domestic workers\, taxi drivers\, and street vendors in the Worker Writers School. \n\nJoin us to be reminded by Bigelow and Nowak of what education can be in person and remote.\nModerated by MCLA education undergraduate\, Abigail Berry\, and Lisa Arrastia\, PhD.
