Never Too Young: Equity-minded Classroom Practice for our Youngest Learners

Wednesday, December 10, 2025  |  Los Angeles, CA 90018

The pain and energy of the present calls educators to take action. Our students are awake, listening, and watching to see what we do right now. “Never Too Young” is Monique Marshall’s mantra and the answer for those who ask, “Are young children really ready to engage in anti-bias work?” She believes in the importance of creating age-appropriate learning opportunities that are both intentionally anti-bias and creatively responsive to community needs. This workshop empowers educators with concrete strategies to facilitate identity-conscious learning in their K-3rd grade classrooms.

"Help! What Do I Say?" Responsive Teaching & Interrupting Bias in our Schools

Thursday, February 5, 2026 | 9 am-2 pm | Los Angeles, CA 90019

How can we find comfort in our discomfort? When students in our schools use harmful language, many educators experience flight, fight, or freeze reactions. There is undoubtedly an uptick of microaggressions and bias incidents in our schools, and many educators find themselves at a loss in navigating them. In this interactive workshop, participants will discuss the experiences they are having in their schools and learn how to proactively create “Brave Space” in classrooms to prepare students to navigate identity-focused put-downs. Dr. Derald Wing Sue’s microaggressions framework will be introduced as a way to better understand and interrupt bias. 

Art, Agency, & Authentic Student Voice

Thursday, April 16, 2026 | 9 am-2 pm | Los Angeles, CA 

Art is a powerful and underutilized tool for classroom learning. In this interactive, hands-on workshop, educators will experience the power of equity-centered classroom practice using art as a vehicle. Participants will engage in meaningful exploration of how to use the Social Justice Standards, project-based learning, and the creative arts to develop meaningful curriculum goals and invite students to engage with authentic audiences as learners.
