Our
fall forum will look at the status and impact of racial segregation in Chicago
schools in the context of our current national discussion of race and policy.
While the focus is on Chicago, the lessons are applicable to other communities
as well.
Panelists
will address:
•
Data
and trends in school segregation in Chicago
•
How
government policies create and promote segregated schools, both historically
and today
•
How
understanding historical and current inequalities help us see our schools and
our classrooms with a critical consciousness
•
Parent
and community resistance to segregation
•
What
it means for educators to work in a segregated system
•
Ideas
for teachers about how to integrate questions of racial justice into their
classrooms and curricula
We
are incredibly lucky to have an experienced, excellent group of panelists:
•

Todd-Breland, Assistant Professor of History, University of Illinois
•
Pavlyn
Jankov, Researcher, Chicago Teachers Union
•
Tara
Stamps, Teacher, Jenner Academy of the Arts, CPS

explore in a small group.
