WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

This virtual book club invites teachers to engage in thoughtful discussions about how today's youth are forming their identities in an era shaped by social media, culture shifts, and evolving societal norms. The book explores how these factors intersect with race, gender, and belonging, influencing young people's sense of self and their connection to the world around them. As educators, understanding how students navigate their identities is critical to fostering a learning environment where every student feels they belong and are valued.

 We will reflect on these themes, share strategies for fostering belonging, and create spaces where young people feel affirmed. Participants will also co-facilitate a chapter, encouraging collaboration and deeper engagement.

 Key Takeaways:

  • Deepen understanding of how identity formation impacts students
  • Reflect on inclusive practices that support belonging
  • Engage in meaningful dialogue with colleagues

Join us to connect, reflect, and gain insights on supporting the diverse identities of our students.
