How can we effectively respond to harmful language in ways that repair harm and restore a sense of community in the classroom?

This interactive webinar is designed to equip teachers at all Grade levels with the skills needed to effectively address harmful and discriminatory language in their K-12 school community. We will discuss strategies on how to effectively and consistently intervene, address and repair harm, and restore a sense of safety and belonging for all students in the classroom.

Join us as we take actionable steps toward making meaningful change in our schools as we commit to creating respectful and supportive spaces where every student can thrive.
