Description

Webinar - Religion, Social Studies and You - Getting More out of Core: Strategies for Effectively Incorporating Religion into Existing Classroom Content
Tuesday, April 14
7:00 pm EST / 4:00 pm PST

This is part three of a four-part webinar series that will focus on ways to incorporate inclusive pedagogical approaches for addressing different faith traditions and cultures in the classroom consistent with the First Amendment. Based on Tanenbaum's Seven Principles of Inclusive Education and Face to Faith's Essentials of Dialogue, these webinars help teachers navigate the often difficult terrain of teaching accurately and sensitively about diverse religions and cultures. While each of the four webinars work cohesively, they also are beneficial as individual sessions.

In this webinar session, we will help educators promote respect for religious diversity by adapting and expanding upon what they are already teaching. Participants will gain awareness of potential barriers to addressing the topic of religion and find ways to overcome those barriers.

Participants will also learn how to:

• Establish a learning environment that's conducive to respectful conversations about religion.
• Select appropriate classroom materials that accurately represent diverse religious and nonreligious belief systems across time while fulfilling Common Core State Standards.
• Facilitate classroom discussions about current events through the lens of global citizenship.
• Make connections between academic content about religion and students' lived experiences.

Presenter: Mark Fowler, Tanenbaum*.
