Full course description

Dismantling Systemic Racism in Education

A 10 Week Webinar Series September 16 - November 18, 2020

Wednesdays from 5:00-6:30pm Central Time

Please contact mallory@lbjfoundation.org with any questions.

When entering the classroom, students and teachers are met with systematic racism at every turn. By looking at who writes and is represented in curriculum, textbooks, and education policy, we can begin to understand the education system in the United States. This webinar series will scratch the surface answering the questions "How did we get here," "Where are we now?" and "What can we do about it?" in regard to raising issues of equity and implementing anti-biased, anti-racist education across the country. President Johnson sought to increase access in education with over 60 pieces of legislation such as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Higher Education Act, and Bilingual Education Act. Continuing President Johnson's legacy of prioritizing education, the LBJ Foundation will host this webinar series to give information and tools to educators and stakeholders to affect change in their schools and communities.
