How can antiracist educators successfully create and maintain culturally responsive spaces while working within systems steeped in white supremacy and internal/external resistance? In this Deep Dive, antiracist teachers, school leaders, and educators of all positions will explore what it looks like to maintain truly affirming spaces for all students using a culturally responsive lens to examine curriculum, relationships, environment, instructional methods and assessments. Participants will leave this session with a toolkit and action plan so their learning can be leveraged as soon as they return to their settings.

Participants will experience what an affirming classroom looks, feels, and sounds like, and, among others, will consider the questions: How can we work within the confines of state standards to create empowering lessons that affirm the diverse experiences of students and preserve their dignity? How can we prevent teacher burnout by focusing on things within our spheres of control and influence?
