Join us for a robust, interactive professional development series - led by Sharmayne Jenkins, Executive Director of Reinvention Solutions - to help you define implicit bias, create culturally competent classrooms, and implement strategies for risk tolerant classrooms.
It is recommended, though not required, that you register for all three Zoom workshops. These will be live and interactive, so it is important you only register if you are able to attend. Portions of the recording will be made available so that key takeaways can be shared with anyone who is interested.
You will receive the Zoom meeting link via email at least 24 hours prior to the workshop(s).
