Session Type: Invited Speaker Session
This session sparks a conversation about the ways students and teachers can co-create critically conscious curriculum that combats corporatized, marginalized, and deficit education models. Because U. S. socio-political, economic and cultural climates have brought transracial and transgender crisis into the classroom, K-12 curriculum should prepare students to understand these difficult topics and to connect these events to their lives and communities. Further, the lack of critical curriculum promotes systems of standardized schooling, the prison industrial complex, and Black and Brown bodies being pushed out of school. As we situate the conversation in current events, we hope to create a cohesive contextual curriculum of resistance, activism, wellness, and, in some cases, survival.
