How to be an Anti-Racist Educator Series

Purpose of the webinar series

In order to begin the path to becoming an antiracist FSL educator, seeds need to be planted. Educators need the foundations first before they may feel comfortable, confident, and equipped to be equitable and inclusive in their second language learning classrooms in a manner that is sincere and authentic. As such, in this series, a variety of educators and professionals have developed a resource to begin supporting FSL teachers to achieve this goal
