In the desire to honor this new holiday, there is still missing historical information about Juneteenth that leave misunderstandings about Juneteenth as a commemoration of the journey to end slavery vs a celebration of the missing years of the knowledge of freedom. Which was it? What is the accurate information that we must immerse ourselves with, and how do we teach about this holiday with historic integrity?
Cindy will present the “how” of this heritage month to get you through the month, and to be ready for next year – or the rest of the year. Bring your phone, your computer, and be ready to unveil the mystery of Black History. Meet with others who have the courage to keep teaching with historical integrity.

Author, playwright, Montessorian Dr. Cindy Acker will begin the critical discussion on how to use her book, The Path Beyond Diversity. At this important historical moment in time worldwide, we have the opportunity to teach with historic integrity, and to support children to be the changemakers of peace that Dr. Montessori modeled.
We are approaching the third year of acknowledging Juneteenth as a formal holiday, but how are we using THI (teaching with historical integrity) to educate our parents, and our staff for truthful curriculum? How does our school recognize this day? But what is more – what really happened, and why we’re enslaved people celebrating, not June 19th, but January 1st? Come together for honest conversations about this day.
As curriculum and discussion laws dealing with LGBTQ and African Americans have surfaced affecting public and private schools, are you aware of how this has or may affect your school, staff, or families? Rather than waiting for this issue to hit your school or state, join us to discuss how you may have been affected or how we can protect our schools and support our staff and student body. This is not a discussion of right or wrong personal views but a conversation in a safe space to understand what may be affecting us, education of information needed, and ways to support each other now and in advance.
Join us as we discuss the current/pending laws impacting how and what we teach. As other states begin to learn about pending restrictions, legislation, or concerns regarding curriculum taught in schools, teachers, and administrators must determine how they navigate the curriculum taught in the classroom. Recognizing that schools must prepare for the changing legislative landscape, this is a webinar for everyone.
This year marks the anniversary of the recognition of Juneteenth as a national day of commemoration. Let’s not lose the significance of Juneteenth in the ending of the school year and beginning of summer, but make our final day of social justice remembrance for the school year. Come, learn, and discuss the history, and appropriate ways to commemorate Juneteenth in advance.
We have discovered how much we have not known and still do not know about Black individuals and the history that has shaped our world.
