Speak Up – Interrupting Everyday Bias

“You’re tongue-tied. Someone has said something biased that makes you uncomfortable, or even angry. You want to say something, but you’re not sure what to say. It happens “almost daily,” one teacher relates. Maybe it’s one of your students. Or it’s a colleague. Or an administrator. And maybe you laugh along—a forced or awkward laugh—because you don’t want to be rude. You see students grappling with the same issues. This workshop offers tools and strategies to prepare you to speak up against prejudice, bias and stereotypes at school. Because whoever it is, and wherever you are, there are ways to be ready for such moments, ways to make sure that you aren’t caught tongue-tied, ways to make sure that you don’t let hate have the last word” (Learning for Justice).

This workshop is presented by Aleza Sitarz, M. Ed. with the Stress and Trauma Treatment Center.
