Middle and High School People’s History Working Group

September 11, 2021

The group kicked off with people’s history trivia of Latino/a/x/e to lift up the heritage month and prepare for Teach Central America Week. In breakout rooms, members collaborated on answering questions curated by Tiferet Ani and Nicole Clark. Nicole shared highlights from the previous month’s retreat to make sure all members were on the same page for the new academic year. While the school year was still new, it’s been a challenging one, and working group members engaged in structured reflection on their successes, challenges, and intentions for the school year. Educators shared that this meeting was especially helpful in reinforcing the support network and resource center this group can be, noting: “It was great! It was really nice to connect and have conversations with people. I love the facilitators and being a part of the group. I look forward to some of the upcoming ideas that came out of the retreat.”
