Join us for a Book Study! SCECH’s Available!
“Teaching When the World is on Fire” – Book Study: 9.17.24 – 10.15.24Politics, war, racism, LBGTQ+ issues – there is no end to the hot topics that may come up in classrooms. In this era of aggressive and polarized politics, it may be challenging to address these difficult topics in class without fear of creating an unnecessary conflict for classroom teachers. 

Join us virtually 9/17/24 through 10/15/24 for a study of key essays from this text and frank conversations about these challenging topics during a challenging time.
