 2022 Civil Rights Educator Institute (virtual)

Tuesday, July 12 - Thursday, July 14, 2022

 

Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site will host an online Civil Rights Educator Institute (CREI) from Tuesday, July 12 through Thursday, July 14, 2022. This free professional development course is open to educators, community organizers and cultural activists; requests to participate in this virtual program will be accepted through March 1, 2022 or until all openings are filled.

The 2022 CREI will examine historical moments from U.S. history and allow for an exchange of knowledge and experiences with reflection between participants. The course will offer tools to explore and educate on civil rights history and human rights struggles through the stories presented by various educators and civil rights activists. The goal of the three-day workshop is to critically engage with issues of rights, power of place as well as to experience innovative ways of connecting the past to our present.

Professional development credit will be provided through full participation in the CREI. Space is limited; requests to virtually attend the 2022 CREI can be sent directly by email to brian_schwieger@nps.gov.
