SUMMARY:Birmingham\, AL – There IS a Balm in Gilead: Healing from the Events of 1963 National Conference
DESCRIPTION:This year\, 2023\, the City of Birmingham commemorates sixty years since the Birmingham campaign for civil and human rights. As a part of the commemorative events\, The Historic Bethel Baptist Church of Birmingham\, Alabama\, is pleased to announce its conference on individual and community healing. \nThe conference theme is “There IS A Balm in Gilead: Healing From The Events of 1963.” The conference will take place September 12-14\, 2023 in Birmingham\, Alabama. What happened here in 1963 changed not only the city but inspired similar movements for human and civil rights across the nation and around the world. \nThose directly and indirectly involved in the Modern Civil Rights Movement were significantly affected by the events of the 1950s and 1960s. Survivors still express remorse and weep whenever they share what they experienced during that time. The goal of the conference is to open doors of communication that will help foster healing for those victims directly and indirectly as well as the community as we unpack a legacy of hurt and shame. It has been well documented that the physical\, emotional\, mental\, and intergenerational effects of trauma have lasting effects on individuals and communities. There IS A Balm in Gilead! \nThe There IS A Balm in Gilead Healing Conference is hosted by the Historic Bethel Baptist Church Community Restoration Fund\, The Minnesota Humanities Center\, and the Alabama Humanities Alliance. \nRegistration\nRegistration for this event has closed.

SUMMARY:St. Paul - Teachability Factors in General and Special Education: Harnessing Adult Data for Change
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special training for building and district administrators and school board leaders with Dr. Keith Mayes and Maria Roberts on Teachability Factors and Adult Data in General and Special Education. \nAs school districts examine and employ student data in the modification of their classroom practices\, few researchers have called for a deep examination of adult data\, and how it can be harnessed for change. Through the lens of racialized special education\, this session will examine a broad spectrum of adult data in the areas of tolerability\, efficacy\, mindset\, and relationships. We will demonstrate that when we refuse to look at school wide or adult data\, we run the risk of believing students and families are inherently flawed. Educators most often find these “flaws” in our minoritized students and communities. When we refuse to interrogate the system\, we believe it is functioning appropriately. We transfer the “problems of a system” to create the “problem student.”  \nDuring this workshop\, participants will:  \n\nDeepen their knowledge of the racialized history of special education and make connections to current practice.\nReflect on current instructional practices and teachability factors in order to improve support for effective instruction. \nIdentify current sorting and removal practices within their own districts that create inequitable outcomes within both special and general education.\nConsider how the implementation of tools or practices have either replicated or changed student outcomes.\n\nThis event is open to all Minnesota superintendents\, school board members\, equity directors\, principals\, district-level administrators\, special education directors and assistant directors.  \nRegistration fee includes: \n\nContinental breakfast\, lunch\, and snack\n6 CEUs\nA copy of “The Unteachables: Disability Rights and the Invention of Black Special Education” ($30 value)\n\nDr. Keith Mayes is an Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota; former chair of the Department of African American & African Studies; and the Horace T. Morse Alumni Distinguished Teaching Professor. Dr. Mayes earned his Ph.D. in History from Princeton University.

SUMMARY:St. Paul – Educator Workshop: Black Freedom Struggles
DESCRIPTION:Black Freedom Struggles\, with Adam Bledsoe and Lauretta Dawolo-Towns\nThis workshop will explore Black struggle as a global phenomenon with particular emphasis on historical and current movements led by Black communities. During this interactive workshop we will investigate Black freedom struggles from around the world\, paying special attention to these Black forms of struggle as expressions of Black agency and self-definition. The workshop will help broaden our understanding of Black freedom struggles beyond well-known moments like the emancipation of slavery and Juneteenth\, as we delve into topics like maroon communities\, work stoppages\, and self-defense from locations including the U.S.\, Brazil\, Cuba\, and Angola. We will also emphasize how historical struggles continue to influence present-day politics. Through large and small group projects and hands-on activities we will think through how to best incorporate these often-unknown struggles into classroom curriculum. Participants will have access to new resources\, materials\, and tools to help improve student learning in the classroom. \n  \nScholar Adam Bledsoe is an assistant professor in the Geography\, Environment & Society Department at the University of Minnesota. Born and raised in the Twin Cities\, Adam’s intellectual and political commitments revolve around the ways in which Afro-Diasporic communities analyze and critique dominant forms of politics\, while also conceiving of\, and enacting\, their own political formations. His work has taken him around the United States\, the Caribbean\, Central America\, and South America\, where he has learned from\, and exchanged ideas with\, a variety of Black communities. \n  \nLead Teacher Lauretta Dawolo Towns earned her B.A. in English and American & Racial Multicultural Studies with a Media Studies minor at St. Olaf College in 2004. Her professional background is in community and ethnic media\, specializing in coverage of underrepresented and underserved populations. In 2016\, she received a Master of Arts in Education from Augsburg University after earning a teaching license in Communication Arts and Literature. She currently teaches 8th grade English Language Arts at Roseville Middle School\, and also teaches in the Adult Basic Education program in the same district. Lauretta lives in Inver Grove Heights with her husband and two sons. \n   \nFor the full Learning Journey experience\, we recommend signing up for these Learning in Community offerings: Kumbayah: The Juneteenth Story. \n  \nRegistration\nIf cost is a barrier\, please contact Jessica Rust at jessica@mnhum.org before registering. \nK-12 educators will receive 6 clock hours. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | MHC Cancellation Policy \n  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED
