The Global Studies Center is excited to sponsor a full-day Teaching Institute for pre-service and in-service teachers of grades 6-12. Led by Emily Chiariello, the chief architect of the Perspectives for a Diverse America curriculum, participants will discuss what is an anti-bias education, and how can it help us to teach about human rights and global issues. We will explore such concepts as multicultural education, culturally responsive instruction, and the need to integrate issues of social justice and diversity into teaching and learning. Participants will learn about the power of text in everyday instruction, design their own learning plans, and describe how an anti-bias curriculum aligns with the Common Core. Ms. Chiariello is the principal author of the Teaching Tolerance anti-bias framework and has two decades of experience as a classroom teacher and curriculum designer, particularly in urban schools and settings. Curricular materials will be provided, along with Act 48 credit hours, parking on Pitt's campus, and meals. 6-12 educators are welcome to register here. Contact Lisa Bromberg with any questions.This event is co-sponsored by Pitt's Year of Diversity initiative. There are limited spaces available!
