This extracurricular community engagement program, run online during 2020-2021 and in a hybrid format during Summer 2021 and beyond, is designed to serve Williams students’ social justice and civic aspirations by providing the opportunity to engage in racial justice work in partnership with local schools and Berkshire County-based advocacy organizations.
Most fellows work in K-12 racial justice curriculum development at either the pre-K, elementary, middle, or high school level. Most work in teams with local K-12 educators who guide them in their work addressing gaps and inaccuracies in K-12 curriculum through the creation and adaptation of learning modules and exercises. The curricula they create are immediately usable in K-12 schools in Berkshire County and Massachusetts and also appropriate for schools and community education programs anywhere in the U.S.
The projects, including supplemental resources, are all being posted here, and eventually will be shared via the Berkshire County Education Task Force online curriculum resource library.
