Rooted in the initial struggle of community members who staged a successful hunger strike to secure a high school in their Chicago neighborhood, David Omotoso Stovall’s Born Out of Struggle focuses on his first-hand participation in the process to help design the school. Offering important lessons about how to remain accountable to communities while designing a curriculum with a social justice agenda, Stovall explores the use of critical race theory to encourage its practitioners to spend less time with abstract theories and engage more with communities that make a concerted effort to change their conditions. Stovall provides concrete examples of how to navigate the constraints of working with centralized bureaucracies in education and apply them to real-world situations.

Title: Teachers as Deputies: Confronting ableism, racism & linguicism in schools.
Opening Act: TBD
Speakers: Drs. Subini Annamma and Maria Cioè-Peña
Moderators: Drs. Tanya Maloney and Bree Picower of Montclair State University

Host: MSU’s College of Education and Human Services Dean’s Office
Co-Sponsors: Department of Teaching and Learning, Center of Pedagogy, MSU Network for Educational Renewal, MSU’s ADP Center

Description: During this webinar, Drs. Annamma and Cioè-Peña will reflect on their experiences as teachers and teacher educators and share their research on the ways that systems of oppression such as racism, ableism and linguicism cause harm to students in schools.  While they will critique the current systems, they will also engage each other in freedom dreaming about what a classroom ecology that allows all children to thrive could look like, and discuss ways that teachers can join this struggle for justice no matter their setting or stage of career.  

Subini Annamma is an Associate Professor at Stanford University who examines the interdependent nature of racism and ableism and how intersectional injustice impacts education in urban schools and youth prisons.


María Cioè-Peña is a bilingual/biliterate researcher and educator who examines the intersections of disability, language, school-parent partnerships and education policy, focusing specifically on Latinx bilingual children with dis/abilities, their families and their ability to access multilingual and inclusive learning spaces within public schools.

Museum Launches FREE Online Curriculum

When you come to a fork in the road, take it. - Yogi Berra
 
Dear Friends,

We're here at the fork. While the doors to the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center are temporarily closed, our commitment to sustaining Yogi's values has never been stronger. Respect, teamwork, perseverance, humility - these are the qualities that will see us through this crisis. Together.
 
That's why we're launching the first part of a brand-new ONLINE EDUCATION CURRICULUM that is FREE for teachers, parents, grandparents, caregivers and students - anyone with internet has access.
  • Lesson plans for middle and high school students leverage sports as an engaging vehicle for online learning.
  • Unit topics include IMMIGRATION and RACE, with additional subject areas to come.
  • Activities, print-outs, videos, photos and supplementary resources are included.
Our hope is that these online lesson plans will help sustain Yogi's legacy of respect and kindness - a legacy too big to be contained within the walls of one Museum - as we weather this as one team. In other words:
 
"It ain't over..."
