Linking Black Families & Communities

Learn collaborative processes that lead to greater Black family and community involvement for school readiness.
How We Got Here
In order to understand where we are, we must first understand how we got here. This session will take us back to revisit legislation and policies that has an impact on what we see today in our educational system.
Black Male Voices
BMV
What can be more important than hearing directly from the mouths of our Black Males? You will read, watch, and hear from Black Males about their perspective on living in a society that has not been designed to uplift, benefit, or promote their success.
Addressing Unconscious Bias
AUB
Understand the reality of implicit bias/association, denial, stereotypes, assumptions, blind spots, and prejudices play in your classroom and its impact on Black Male student achievement
Becoming an Aunt/Uncle in the Classroom

Reshape and refocus our educational efforts with Black Males, specific to relational engagement. It is our belief (CQC) that relationships must lead in the classroom setting for any true and meaningful learning to occur.
Additional Cooperative Learning Seminars
Avoiding Marginalization while Distance Learning
With distance learning being a new platform to teach our students, how are we as educators prepared to engage students from all backgrounds in a virtual learning experience? We need to pay close attention to those who have been traditionally marginalized by our system to ensure we are not widening the academic gap. It is our belief (CQC) that exhibiting care for our students is the most important factor we can lean on while we all navigate this uncharted territory
Adultification Bias
This session aims to increase awareness surrounding an age-old phenomenon with a new name: adultification bias. We want to spend time intentionally looking at how our own implicit biases may play into this phenomenon and how that contributes to the pushout of Black girls within our K-12 educational systems. We also aim to focus on what we can do to minimize adultification bias and its impact on Black girls.
The Importance of Customer Service in Schools CSS
Let’s not forget that each child/family bring in funds in order for us to run our school districts. When we start treating our students and families like businesses treat their customers, especially those from marginalized communities we will see better engagement and trust.
