DEI PARENT/CAREGIVER WORKSHOP
Please join the PS 107 PTA DEI Committee on for an important and special workshop series, led by teacher educator Kass Minor, a local D15 parent and author of Teaching Fiercely: Spreading Joy and Justice in Our Schools. This is a unique opportunity to come together as parents, educators and caregivers to raise thoughtful, compassionate kids who embrace diversity and understanding.
Over three 90-minute workshops on zoom, Kass will help us:
- Reflect on how our personal histories with school shape our experiences—and those of our children.
- Deepen our understanding of how to talk with kids about race, gender, class, and other important topics.
- Provide caregivers with resources and strategies to help students navigate the complex world that surrounds them
The PTA and PS 107 school leadership have invested to provide this workshop to our community because we want all students to feel that they belong in our community.
Let’s work together to raise great human beings and create a school foundation that reflects the values we all share. Please RSVP on Konstella. We hope to see you there!
