1) Living Books Talk: Solving the Gender Equation in Schools: Implicit bias regarding gender is ubiquitous to institutional life and schools are no exception. What are the ways we allow stereotypical notions of gender to impact the construction of fair and equitable learning environments for our students? Teachers and school leaders need both the language and practical tools in order to minimize the issues regarding gender that permeate instructional practices. Leadership also needs the tools to communicate to their school communities why this work is so critical to student growth. How will this work create inclusive, joyful learning communities where dignity and respect are the rule regardless of gender identification?
2) Keynote on the Paradigm Shifters Stage: Helping Boys Thrive: The audience will hear best practices to support young boys as they navigate the often narrow, claustrophobic, and exhausting experience of being a male student in our schools. Teachers will examine their own relationships to education from a gendered perspective, understanding what young boys experience on a daily basis that can interrupt and deter them from having the best educational experience possible. Specific strategies in communication and resilience-building will be introduced for educators to engage their students in the most positive way, encouraging them to see school for what it is: the environment where they can become their best selves.
