SUMMARY:Online Class About Rosa Parks with Jeanne Theoharis
DESCRIPTION:On Jan. 11\, 2021\, at 4:00 pm PT / 7:00 pm ET\, the Zinn Education Project will host a Teach the Black Freedom Struggle people’s history class with Professor Jeanne Theoharis\, who will speak about Rosa Parks’ activism prior to the Montgomery Bus Boycott\, her trip to the Highlander Folk School\, and the decades she dedicated to challenging racism in the North. \nSpecial Offer of Advance Copy of Young Readers Edition for Participants\nThis session is based on the young readers edition The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks by Jeanne Theoharis and Brandy Colbert\, to be released in February 2021. \nRosa Parks was a powerful\, strategic\, and dedicated activist whose witness inspired this nation to do things previously thought impossible. Jeanne Theoharis and Brandy Colbert have overturned simplistic descriptions of Mrs. Parks with extraordinary research\, writing\, and compassion. This is a must-read for young people hoping to understand the power we all have to make a difference. —Bryan Stevenson\, author of Just Mercy \nTo truly honor Mrs. Rosa Parks is to set the record straight. She was not an accidental heroine or just a tired old lady; she was a lifelong rebellious freedom fighter in every sense of the word. Theoharis has captured the beauty and complexity of Mrs. Parks’s life. Deeply researched and engaging\, this rich chronicle of Mrs. Parks’s life is a page-turner for adults and youth alike. Theoharis and Colbert have told Mrs. Parks’s life with so much love\, care\, and truth telling. Bravo! —Bettina L. Love\, author of We Want to Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom \nThanks to Beacon Press\, participants can purchase advance\, autographed copies of the young readers edition when they register. The list price for the book is $18.95 and it will be released in early February. The advance copies for Teach the Black Freedom Struggle class participants will be available for $17\, including shipping! They will be shipped from the warehouse in early January. \nFormat\nAs usual\, this session is for 75 minutes. There will be breakout rooms for 12 minutes about half-way through the session to allow participants (in small groups of five or six) to meet each other\, discuss the content\, and share teaching ideas. We designed the sessions for teachers and other school staff\, however\, parents\, students\, and others are welcome to participate. \nRethinking School editor Bill Bigelow wrote a classroom lesson based on the book that is available for free download from the Zinn Education Project. \nPrevious Classes with Jeanne Theoharis\nTheoharis helped the Zinn Education Project develop the very first people’s historians online classes at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Her previous online classes include Teenagers in the Civil Rights Movement\, Rethinking Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\, and The Civil Rights Movement in the North. Here is some feedback from participants: \nAs always\, Dr. Theoharis is such an encyclopedia and I feel like at this point there is such a community feel after all of these weeks. \nI thought the connection to intersectionality and sexism that affected the ways that Rosa Parks was portrayed in history was very important. I also loved the last messages that Professor Theoharis shared about the importance of acting again and again and again as opposed to just focusing on one moment in history. \nThis was an incredible session. It was informative and invigorating. I am looking forward to many more. Thank you for making this accessible. \nI learned so much about Watts that I didn’t know before. I’m inspired to dig deeper and learn even more. I was already committed to teaching “the long story” but it’s SO important to be mentored and encouraged\, so I’m really grateful for today. \nDr. Theoharis and Mr. Hagopian do such an amazing job of making history come alive and help us see how to share these important stories with our students.

SUMMARY:Teaching Poetry for Joy and Justice
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS\n\nThrough poetry\, we invite our students’ lives — the “landscape and bread” of their homes\, their ancestors\, their struggles and joys — into classrooms as subjects worthy of study. While students learn the language of the academy about stanzas and line breaks\, similes and metaphors\, they must first learn that poetry can be playful\, that it can use ordinary\, everyday language\, and sound like their grandma or their aunts laughing together on the front porch\, that it can be written in house slippers. In this poetry workshop\, participants will reclaim any part of our lives that society has degraded\, humiliated\, or shamed\, and raise it up\, share it\, and sing praises to the “unanimous blood/of those who struggle\,” as the Salvadoran poet Roque Dalton urged us in his poem “Like You.” \nLinda Christensen is the director of the Oregon Writing Project at Lewis & Clark College\, a Rethinking Schools editor\, and author of Reading\, Writing\, and Rising Up: Teaching About Social Justice and the Power of the Written Word\, Teaching for Joy and Justice\, and  co-editor of Rhythm and Resistance: Teaching Poetry for Social Justice. \nREGISTER HERE \n\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.Space 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.

SUMMARY:Art Imitates Life\, Life Imitates Ads
DESCRIPTION:As the country re-examines its relationship with “monuments\,” with history\, with art and public space\, we\, as educators\, must examine our roles as curators of art analysis in our classrooms. Contemporary art interacts with society in ways that are both reactive and predictive. In this workshop we will use the art of Hank Willis Thomas and other contemporary artists as a source for our own writing\, uncovering the poetry\, narratives\, and essays that live in their artistry. To examine work like Thomas’s and others’ is to recognize the relationship between art and life\, moments and monuments\, two sides of the same mirror always chasing each other’s reflection. \nJayme Causey teaches language arts at Jefferson High School in Portland\, Oregon. He is an Oregon Writing Project coach. \nREGISTER HERE \n  \n\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.

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.

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.
