Modeling multi-modal teaching practices, this workshop equips teachers, equity practitioners, and administrators with resources that support engagement with America's history of enslavement as both a content area and opportunity for social-emotional learning in English, History, Social Studies, Art History, and Science courses. By providing a methodological framework for teaching slavery centered in the agency of the enslaved and their descendants, this workshop will prepare educators to promote empathy over guilt and empowerment over shame when engaging America's history of enslavement.
