In this interactive 90-minute session featuring personal story, freewriting exercises, and discussion, Felicia Rose Chavez will prompt participants to reflect on and evaluate the values implicit in their classroom leadership styles to create a classroom community where students of color feel a sense of belonging and safety and also support faculty in verbalizing our anti-racist agenda for them, in clear, unapologetic language, language that opens doors instead of closes them. We will aim to openly differentiate our approach to teaching in revised syllabi and course assignments.  How do we respond when confronted with student expressions of bias and authority? As educators, we need concrete strategies to disrupt patterns of microaggressions, resistance to listening, and a lack of empathy. This dynamic 90-minute session walks faculty step-by-step through strategies to foster productive dialogue and reflexivity in our classrooms, inspiring the best in our students. We culminate with a productive brainstorming session, troubleshooting participants' classroom experiences to work toward positive change.
