Workshop Program

Homework for Participants

  • Please read Chapter 9 of Whistling Vivaldi entitled Reducing Identity and Stereotype Threat: A New Hope (pages 152-190).
  • You may also want to read Chapter 1 since it sets up the author's background experiences and motivation for the book's theme.
  • Everyone should plan a short (10-15 minutes) presentation/discussion about something they do best in their classrooms. The purpose is to share our best work in the classroom with each other.
  • Bring a laptop if possible.
