Educator Summer Institute
we are (working to extend anti-racist education), an affiliate of Duke University’s Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity, will hold its Educator Summer Institute Monday, July 17th - Wednesday, July 19th, at Hillside High School from 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM. Participating K-12 teachers will earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). It is strongly recommended that teams of at least three teachers from each school attend, but this is not a requirement. Educators will build a historical understanding of racial constructs, learn about anti-racist practices, and will walk away with a plan to address a racial equity issue within their own school or district.
