The purpose of this workshop is twofold. 1st to reveal that teacher choice plays a role in the amplifying of some cultures and customs at the expense of other cultures and that teachers can directly address this problem in a way that fits into current standards and is developmentally appropriate.
2nd, to give teachers a clear cut and direct method for introducing this material into the classroom
3 minutes: Warm up and survey about holidays talked about in school. This helps us develop a shared understanding of which holidays are given preference in schools, which sets up the rationale for this presentation.
5 minutes: I will explain and model the process for developing the inquiry lesson on holidays/ cultural celebrations. I will show participants how I develop the unit using a combination of google slides, and wakelet.
10 minutes: participants will receive a holiday that they will then gather resources for and create a template they could use to create a lesson around it.
10 minutes: participants will then brainstorm activities and products that could be used for a steam connection to the holiday.
