We get access to a lot of workshops like these and I hope other teachers take advantage to make a more inclusive space and learn something that can apply outside of their teaching careers as well.
Today I attended a workshop on combating Islamophobia in schools. It's just one of the numerous workshops offered in connection with being a Brooklyn Collaborative teacher. Not only was it deeply personal and educational but it also had specific follow-up tasks that we could use if we wanted to continue this struggle in our own classrooms. It was a quick hour session on how to incorporate Islam and its history into our subject areas (and they even mentioned the origin of the variable X). I walked away with some tools and readings to help me in my job.
