The PNM 2021 Addressing Equity working group is offering another Book Discussion Group this fall. For this book discussion, we will be reading Zaretta Hammond’s Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain. We will meet on the third Wednesday of the month on 9/22/21, 10/20/21, 11/17/21 from 8:00-9:00 pm ET. Please join your POGIL colleagues in conversations about what it means to be a culturally responsive teacher and how we can apply this to our lives and classrooms.
We hope that this book discussion group will help us achieve two goals of our PNM working group: to determine ways in which we can aspire to promote and model antiracism both as educators and as POGIL practitioners, and to develop a body of educators who are thoughtful, reflective, and think deeply about diversity, inclusion, and equity. These goals are reflected in The POGIL Project’s objective to have all work reflect antiracist and equity-producing practices.
Attendees of recent PNM and NCAPP events were invited to join the Book Discussion Group, but if you are interested and there is still space, we welcome you to join too! Please contact Laura Parmentier at parmentr@beloit.edu for the registration code.
Book Discussion Group Facilitators: Kelly Butler, Stephanie Erickson, and Laura Parmentier
