Student and Educator Wellness through Creative Play, Joy and Connection
Dates: Nov 18-20, 2024
Time: TBD
Description: How might we harness the power of creative play to build authentic relationships rooted in joy? This immersive session is designed for CTE educators, community members, and industry partners to first experience the power of connection through shared work, shared purpose, and shared joy by engaging in games and activities that center fun, build trust through vulnerability, and encourage critical and creative thinking. Then, through reflection and discussion, participants will envision and plan how to bring the practice of wellness through joy and connection back to the students and colleagues they work alongside in their home contexts.
Co-creating Community Agreements to Design Equitable Classrooms and Learning Communities
Dates: Dec 6, 2024
Time: 10:00 AM – 10:45 AM CST
Location: 302B, Henry B. González Convention Center
Description: Learning environments are often created without the input or experience of the people they are intended to serve, so they fail to address very real needs. Co-creating community agreements is a culturally responsive and restorative practice that gives voice to all learning community members. In this immersive session, you will learn about co-creating community agreements and then build a plan to bring community agreements home to engage with youth, colleagues and other key community members. Leave prepared to implement this practice back home, energized with new tools, and more confident about advancing equity through innovation.

Engage in this hands-on session to discover how Ford Law Career Academy blends culturally responsive principles, place-based learning, and intentional work-based engagement with practicing lawyers/judges to excite Black and brown students about law careers – and launch their preparation to become impactful lawyers who one day counter historical marginalization of non-white individuals. Become familiar with Ford Law’s Negotiations, explore activities for one, and gain online access to materials. Together, we will discuss a plan for implementing negotiations to drive toward shared positive outcomes in their classes, schools, and learning communities.
