One part of the training is watching the Ted Talk video What it Takes to be Racially Literate by high school students Priya Vulchi and Winona Guo. In it, these two young women of color talk about the heart/mind gap in confronting race and racism in classrooms.

If you'd like to attend a training focused on all of the above issues, Lauren, Amanda, and the rest of the Inclusive Pedagogy Working Group will be presenting their training in Tacoma, WA at the Decolonizing Education Conference on October 27-29. And if you'd like to read the group's philosophy statement, click here.

Lake City Festival and Parade (August 3): If  you know about Literacy Source well enough to represent us to the public and can donate an hour of your time, please help us table at the Lake City Festival and Parade! To sign up for an hour-long slot between 10:30 am and 4:30 pm, please email  Maddi  with your availability and phone number.

Cookbook Project (evening of August 29): Many of you know that our classes are participating in the creation of a Literacy Source cookbook, which will culminate in an end-of-project cooking event. We are looking for some volunteers to help set up, cook, and/or clean up during the event. Additionally, if you would like to submit a recipe, please fill out this recipe template and email it to Maddi. Note: As our cookbook will be curated to include a broad range of dishes, not all recipes submitted may be included.

Internet Workshop (Date TBD): We are currently in the process of planning an internet workshop for students who would like to learn internet basics such as logging into wifi and conducting a Google search. We need a few volunteers to assist us during the workshop, which we are hoping to hold at the Lake City branch of the Seattle Public Library. If you are interested, please contact Marisa.
