A group of 10 Newton South teachers spearheaded a Summer 2020 national conference. Over 10,000 teachers and educators across all 50 states participated in this week-long book read and discussion by notable multi-cultural speakers on how to embed Anti-Racist teaching in Teacher Preparation Programs, School and District Leadership, Teaching Social Studies, Educator Unions, English and ELL (dual language speakers) and Foreign Language Teaching. In addition, there were sessions with practical tips for educators teaching English, Math, Science, Special Education, Early Childhood and Upper Elementary.
