SUMMARY:Racial Literacy Curriculum Discussion with Principal Jessica Peterson
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee at the committee’s February meeting to hear Jessica Peterson present an overview of the Racial Literacy Curriculum at Newman. The meeting of the PTC Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion Committee meeting is open to ALL parents and faculty \n– Learn about the NPS Elementary Racial Literacy Curriculum\n– Ask questions of our staff and PTC committee members\n– Receive additional resources to support meaningful conversations about race with your children \nPlease use this Zoom link to join: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87074988308?pwd=V0VWRDdSM3BlTDFsZUVyZFNWSmZNQT09 \nBackground:\nOne of the five core competencies of the Portrait of a Needham Graduate is to develop socially and culturally responsive contributors. This means that students understand and respect diversity; act with empathy and courage to ensure equity\, access\, and an anti-racist culture; and address local and global issues through civic and community engagement. In order to help students work toward this competency\, explicit racial literacy instruction is required. Furthermore\, research demonstrates that effective racial literacy instruction must begin in elementary school or even earlier. The Racial Literacy Task Curriculum is designed to help students gain knowledge about race as it has been constructed in the United States and aims to help students acquire an awareness of their own racial socialization and skills for engaging in productive conversations about race and racism. \nThe Newman Elementary School Parent Teacher Council (Newman PTC) serves to enrich the education of all of our children and foster a sense of community. All families are welcome to participate! Please join us!
