Join D.C. Area Educators for Social Justice (DCAESJ) for the second annual Social Justice Curriculum Fair! This fair is an opportunity for D.C. area educators to connect in-person while exploring curriculum aligned with various social justice themes. This year, the event builds off the momentum from the national Teach Truth Day of Action by uplifting the voices that are often reduced and censored.

Coordinated in partnership with DCAESJ working groups, this fair will feature classroom resources from the Zinn Education Project and Social Justice Books, and is designed for pre-K-12 educators. There will also be opportunities to network with D.C. area education organizations at exhibit tables.

Workshops

As of June 2023. More workshops will be added on a rolling basis.

• Gender Identity in the Early Childhood Classroom by Makai Kellogg and Sara Beshawred
• Using Literature Circles to Decolonize the Canon by Zack Wilson
• Banned Books and Radical Public Library Programming by Julie Siegel

Call for Workshop Proposals!

We invite proposals for workshops that speak to one or more social justice topics and themes (e.g. activism, race/ethnicity, gentrification, environmental justice, dis/ability, immigration, incarceration, etc.). Relevant presentations are welcomed, as are curricular ideas, classroom strategies, theoretical frameworks that lead to praxis, presentations on community work, and other ideas for inspiring practice. Workshop sessions will be approximately 50 minutes. Read about last year's fair.

Curriculum fair registration fee will be waived for all volunteers. You will have the opportunity to attend at least one workshop and will be gifted a book of your choice.
