This book club is a professional development series for educators. Though educators will be engaging with the book and participating in discussions and activities, the purpose is to ensure that participants are able to takeaway strategies to use each text in educational spaces with their students.
Facilitated by: Montana Desabio and Greg Simmons
Time: All sessions will be held at 12:30 p.m. ET by Zoom.
Abstract: Jesse Hagopian and Denisha Jones created a collection of essays, interviews, poems, and resolutions. Educators, students, and activists represent the demands for change in schools to end zero-tolerance discipline and replace it with restorative justice, undo institutional racism, implement Black and ethnic studies, and hire more Black teachers while funding counselors, not cops. The book is a way to connect the community, educators, and students to ensure that Black Lives Matter at School every day.
