From changing expectations, to the inconsistent value placed on education; teaching is different than it was 10-20 years ago. I will share my teaching philosophy and how I use it to lean into culturally responsive/sustaining strategies to engage students in lessons and change how they view learning in the classroom. Speaker: Adrienne Glasgow, High School Social Studies Teacher

Ever turned the phrase “in the real world” with students? Was it to convey a world where all that they have learned becomes meaningful?

Hold onto your cowboy hat and discover the power of country music to inspire powerful inquiries.

Pauli Murray was an activist, legal scholar, author, and she was also queer. Her impact on the civil rights and women’s rights movements cannot be overstated. The authors present the reader with the potential for elementary teachers to disrupt and “unmute” curricular silencing by shifting focus to Pauli Murray’s story and work in the civil rights movement.  In this C3 inquiry, students explore ways Pauli “pushed for the promise” of America, revealing a more diverse citizenry within the social studies curriculum.
