Join School’s Out Washington (SOWA) and the Weikart Center for a daylong pre-meeting focused on equity and SEL in OST practice. This pre-meeting will run from 8:30-4:30:
In the morning session, participate in SOWA’s
Structural Racism workshop, to increase knowledge of why understanding race and structural racism is crucial to achieving cultural competence; understand how history, laws, policies, practices and belief systems have interacted to produce racial disparities; and identify connections between historical racial injustices and present-day realities for young people and their families.
Over lunch, hear from a keynote speaker that will help us connect conversations around equity and SEL practices.
In the afternoon, join one of several breakout sessions, including SOWA’s
Cultural Responsiveness workshop and the offerings from the Weikart Center’s new suite of SEL Methods:
Foundations and Self-Awareness for Social Development,
Essentials for an SEL Framework, and
Engaging Youth in Productive Struggle.
