Diversifying the teaching force could be a key step to closing student achievement gaps and moving schools closer to equity goals. In their new book, “Teacher Diversity and Student Success: Why Racial Representation Matters in the Classroom,” Seth Gershenson, Constance Lindsay, and Brookings Senior Fellow Michael Hansen present nuanced policy recommendations to increase teacher diversity in classrooms and promote more inclusive schools.

This event is hosted by ETS (Educational Testing Service).

The event will center on the diverse lives of today’s students and the implications for teaching, learning and assessment. Students who are transitioning into postsecondary education as well as those who are enrolled will be the focus. The event will explore:
·       impacts of reduced bandwidth on students’ success
·       student centered-holistic assessment
·       new approaches to assessment design
·       insights about assessment for improving teaching and learning.

Asian American Pacific Islanders (“AAPIs”) have been historically scapegoated for calamities in the U.S. Once again AAPIs are scapegoated for the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the beginning of the pandemic we have seen an exponential increase of hate and racist acts towards the Asian American Pacific Islander (“AAPI”) community. In this workshop, we will go over lessons that can be taught to students to help them better understand these issues. In a 3–part unit plan, your students will be able to look at the current rise of anti-Asian racism as a result of the pandemic and a history prior to that. This unit will end on a positive note of community building in order to promote a more just and safe society.

This event is hosted by the COVID Collaborative.

The United States is at a key moment in the COVID-19 crisis—with hope for a new normal as vaccines are distributed across the country, and concern over a potential next surge driven by new variants and easing of public health restrictions. With the release of the American Rescue Plan and the goal of the Biden-Harris Administration to open the majority of K-8 schools by May 1, safely and sustainably reopening schools and the economy is of vital importance.

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the Director of the Centers of Disease Control, joins the COVID Collaborative for a fireside chat, moderated by former Governor Dirk Kempthorne (R-ID) and Governor Deval Patrick (D-MA) on this critical topic.

The event will be co-hosted by the Infectious Disease Society of America, the County of the Great City Schools, Chiefs for Change, and the American College Health Association.

The SEE Summit is a national social justice summit envisioned and led by students from districts across the country. Offered virtually and open to the public, this event engages students—the very students whom the education system is underserving—as leaders, designers, and facilitators of authentic professional learning for the education community.

The SEE Summit will radically cede power to young people; call on educators to face the racist, demoralizing structures, policies, and practices that exist in education; strengthen dialogue and collaboration between students and school staff; and spur a collective commitment to advance inclusive, anti-racist classrooms.

This is an opportunity to deepen understanding of how oppression influences the school experiences of students of color, celebrate student voice and leadership, and build coalitions across differences to transform education.

This event is hosted by The Asian American EDUcation Project.

Recent times have brought acts of anti-Asian racism and hate to the national spotlight. However, this is not something new, but rather something old. Over the course of U.S. history, AAPIs have been the targets of hate crimes and discrimination. The Racism unit covers how the Igorot people were used as human zoo in 1904 World’s Fair, the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Japanese American incarceration into concentration camps in WWII, McCarthyism and racial profiling, the American war in Vietnam, the hate crime murder of Vincent Chin and Joseph Ileto, the 1992 L.A. civil unrest and the systemic racism against Black Americans, 9/11/2001 and the victimization of South Asian Americans. This unit also examines the social construct of race, and the definitions of ethnicity, nationality, citizenship and constitutional rights. The workshop will explore our Racism unit. We will dive deeper into how discrimination and microaggressions affect minority groups and what we can do to prevent further discrimination and hate crimes in our society.

What does it mean to be a U.S. citizen? What are the barriers to citizenship? Even today, AAPIs still face such barriers. A forgotten point is that there are Asian DREAMers. What barriers do they face? The Citizenship unit examines the social construct of race, and the definitions of ethnicity, nationality, citizenship and constitutional rights. The unit looks into the barriers AAPIs face in realizing citizenship. The workshop will explore the Citizenship unit.

Civil rights are not handed to us. They are fought for. The AAPI population is not an exception. Faced with adversities, the AAPI community has found ways to participate in the civil rights struggle. The Civil Rights unit covers Asian Americans’ legal battles in school desegregation, the constitutional violations of Japanese Americans during WWII incarceration, the Filipino Americans’ grape strike for workers’ rights, the victimization of South Asian Americans in the aftermath of 9/11/2001. In the workshop we will take a look at the Civil Rights unit, diving into its history and achievements the AAPI community has accomplished and challenges they face.

The 2021 Virtual Slice of Pi event will celebrate DSST’s innovative STEM Program and honor the remarkable commitments of our contributors for their philanthropic investments that assist us in meeting our ambitious mission of “transforming urban public education by eliminating scholastic inequity and preparing all students for success in college and the 21st century.”

The annual Slice of Pi event plays a critical role in our ability to provide programs that have an impact on addressing the complex personal and educational issues faced by our student populations. Usually, this event is an in-person celebratory evening that includes dinner, special guest speakers, and student demonstrations followed by a VIP cocktail party for board members, event sponsors and major donors. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s Slice of Pi will be reimagined as a virtual affair that is sure to be every bit as special as those held previously. Special Guest this year will be Reed Hastings, Founder & Co-Chair of Netflix.

The goal is to have 1,000+ virtual attendees!  ALL ARE WELCOME & ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND!  Please pass the word!

Immigration for certain groups of people is not always welcomed to the United States. Barriers are often placed to bar and restrict certain groups of people, even in the present. The Immigration unit covers the contribution of Chinese Transcontinental Railroad workers, the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which gave way to the passage of the Immigration Act of 1965 which led to Asian Americans to become the fastest growing population. This unit also covers the Southeast Asian refugees’ migration in the aftermath of the Vietnam War and the Asian American DREAMers. The workshop will explore the Immigration unit, the desire for immigrants to come to the United States and the past and present challenges they face. This unit also explores some of the past and present immigration policies, the motivation behind the creation of these policies, and their impact.
