Webinar for Educators: A Look at Global Protests
November 18, 2020 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
About the Speaker: Elizabeth Coerdt serves as the Manager of Global Education at the Cleveland Council on World Affairs. In this role, she is responsible for two initiatives: a cross-cultural communication training program and professional development programming focused on supporting educators’ capabilities for teaching global issues.
Elizabeth previously worked as an elementary school English Language Arts teacher with Breakthrough Schools and served as a 2015 Teach For America corps member. She is a Georgetown University alumnus with a B.A. in Government and Art History, and holds a M.S.Ed. from Johns Hopkins University’s School of Education.
About the Program: Join the Cleveland Council on World Affairs for an hour-long webinar on global protests. We invite middle school and high school teachers (grades 7-12) to participate in a webinar that will focus on global protests and demonstrations since 2019, including a look at the Black Lives Matter movement both in the U.S. and abroad. We will share lesson plans, resources, and tools for educators to address this challenging topic in their classrooms. The workshop is appropriate for middle and high school history, social studies, and humanities teachers, including AP and IB educators.
