ELAN: In Conversation with Jael Richardson

How do educators build anti -oppressive classrooms for the 21st Century?

How do we empower students to think, write, speak, and act from a foundation of anti-racist and abolitionist values and perspectives?

ELAN Ontario welcomes author and FOLD creator and director Jael Richardson to discuss her new YA novel "Gutter Child", part of the long tradition of Black excellence in authors who are perfect for your secondary classroom.

Join host Mel Riley, Gutter Child educator's guide authors Alexiis Stephen and Melissa Fleming, and our guest panel of literacy educators from across Ontario: Doreen Bonsu, Tia Duke, and Amanda Gonsalves, to discuss the effective use of anti-oppressive reading materials and approaches in the secondary English classroom.

Follow @ELANontario to join us for future events, including a webinar with Waubgeshig Rice, author and journalist, our next guest in the anti-oppressive reads series.
