Event Description

Bootcamp 2021 will focus on Big Picture K-12 social studies curriculum, using the work of Dr. Gholdy Muhammad as a framework. Dr. Muhammad outlines five components of authentic student engagement: Identity, Skill, Intellectual Connection, Criticality, and Joy. Her work goes beyond the general curricular focus on content and skills, adding in the pieces of the social and political context of the students’ communities. Bootcamp is open to any educator, but as the heart of the work this summer is not the individual classroom, it may be most appropriate to small district teams. Bootcamp is 100% free this year, as I don't have to pay for a venue or food!

Due to the virtual nature of Bootcamp this year, there will be three sessions for the main content, with multiple options for breakout sessions and meeting with me to brainstorm. The three sessions will NOT be the same - it will be different content, and at this time, I am hoping to record them, as well. With registration, you will receive a calendar hold for each session, with a Zoom link.

Dates for Bootcamp 2021 are:
Tuesday June 29 from 10am - noon
Monday July 12 from 10am - noon
Monday July 19 from 10am - noon

Registration will close one on June 22, 2021, to ensure time to get information and links to all attendees.
