NILS2024

We invite you to join us for an exploratory session centered around the book *Unearthing Joy* by Gholdy Muhammad.  The session will provide an opportunity for collaboration, reflection, and innovation as we explore how the following five pursuits can play a critical role in the units we teach.  **Identity**: How does this unit help students learn something about themselves or others? 2. **Skills**: How does this unit respond to or build students’ skills for the content area? **Intellect**: How does this unit respond to or build students’ knowledge and mental capacities? **Criticality**: How does this unit engage students’ thinking about power, equity, and the disruption of oppression? **Joy**: How does this unit spread and amplify joy? As we look at units we already teach with the five pursuits lens, we will think about how we can infuse more joy for both staff and students in meaningful and justice centered experiences.
