Learn More About Our Conflict and Courage Professional Development Series
Conflict and Courage Workshop
The Conflict and Courage Workshop overviews our curriculum, designed for grades 4, 6, 7, and 11, whose lessons and activities can be tailored to fit K-12 classrooms. The Conflict and Courage lesson plan focuses on two intertwined events in Birmingham history that represent concepts of conflict and courage: the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church on September 15, 1963, and the speech the next day, made by Charles Morgan, Jr. to white businessmen of Birmingham, publicly condemning all of white Birmingham for letting years of racism and abuse go unpunished. The speech became a book, A Time To Speak, which Morgan wrote after threats to his family led him to leave Birmingham. A Time To Speak is part of the curriculum, walking students through the people in Birmingham, the bombing and its aftermath.
Social Justice Training Workshop
Recognizing that culturally responsive instruction helps educators close achievement gaps, the social justice training serves as a framework for anti-bias education and equips attendees with language that is useful in the workplace, school, and in teaching the Conflict and Courage curriculum. This workshop also educates attendees how to recognize implicit bias, macro and microaggressions in order to promote overall cultural competence.
Mindfulness and Conflict Resolution Workshop
Mindfulness is a valuable wellness and self-care tool for educators, and helps to reduce stress and burnout. Additionally, mindfulness and conflict management tools can be used to promote healthy relationships between educators and their students, promote effective teaching, and create a safe space for difficult conversations.
