Course Overview: Equity-Centered Instruction: Strategies for the Library or Classroom

Learn innovative and equity-centered instructional strategies for engaging learners, teaching sensitive topics, and handling censorship. Equity-centered instruction is not just about the books or materials you teach, it’s about how you teach them. This course will help you reimagine how you approach instruction and ensure you are equipped with tools for trauma-informed facilitation, equity-based engagement practices, teaching sensitive topics, building and leveraging dynamic relationships between librarians and educators, and more!

After you attend this interactive online course and workshop, you’ll be able to:

• Proactively apply what you have learned about race/equity to your daily practice in the library/classroom 

• Teach sensitive topics in your library/classroom with confidence, sensitivity, and cultural humility

• Advocate for shifting policies, mindsets, and culture within your library/classroom    

• Help build productive relationships with students, peers, parents, and your community

• Engage in vigorous, culturally responsive teaching and facilitation 

• Incorporate trauma-informed, healing-centered practices into your teaching and facilitation

• Use data acquired from this course to effectively impact change within your learning community
