What to expect on this webinar

This informational webinar is led by Megan Nevels, an expert in anti-bias and positive school climate initiatives at K-12 schools. She’ll share tools to begin a journey towards anti-racism, and empower you to incorporate them into teaching practices.

During the first 45-minutes of the webinar, Scoot educators will learn:

  • key terms and language related to anti-racism
  • research on how racism shows up in students, teachers, and classrooms as early as pre-school
  • teaching strategies to disrupt racism in learning spaces
  • ways to respond to racist language and remarks
  • and how to best support colleagues of color in a school setting.

Following Megan’s presentation, we’ll close with an open discussion where educators can share experiences and ask questions.

Who should attend this anti-racism webinar

This webinar’s content is catered primarily to non-Black educators. We’ve heard from many Black colleagues that they are experiencing extreme grief and exhaustion during this time and that even being in mixed-race spaces right now is painful.

We understand racism is multi-faceted. Colorism is an aspect of racism and exists in communities of color. Therefore, we encourage all non-Black educators to attend this webinar to reflect, contribute, and learn from one another.
