Presenting at the Private Schools for Public Purpose Conference
Excited to share some of our favorite activities with others at PSPP (pom poms in hand!) We had the pleasure of visiting GDS High School and attending the Private Schools for Public Purpose (PSPP) conference ! We presented some experiential learning activities we do in our 5th grade classroom (two of our favorites, our drawing activity and pom pom simulation , and some new ones like our factory simulation in our Econ 101 unit!), along with how we talk about race and socio-economic status in our classroom. We were privileged to spend our workshop time with thoughtful, justice-oriented educators. Unlike some other presentations we have done, this space was small and intimate, and we loved getting to hear from everyone and have a dynamic discussion. We heard all about affinity groups, equity work, and innovative programming at other schools. Our trusty bin of workshop supplies: pom poms,
