In this free webinar, participants will learn how to design, implement, and sustain a community-based research seminar that engages students in real life topics from their neighborhood. Participants will also learn the basics of critical pedagogy, a teaching approach that provides students the opportunity to analyze power structures and improve every day living conditions within their communities. Participants will also learn how to design a research seminar topic along with their students to ensure it is a topic that is meaningful to them.

RAPSA Chats

…provide professional learning from the comfort of your school or home
…forge new connections with educators
…put valued strategies into practice

RAPSA Chats are a unique way to share ideas and practices. The conversations will be moderated by the presenter and will be a chance to learn more about the concepts and ideas and to share them with your colleagues around the country.

Participate in these conversations as a team or individually.   Either way—you’re sure to leave the session with ideas that help spark your teaching and learning.

When the Chat is over and you still want to share ideas and practices, join us in the RAPSA Ning where the conversations will continue.

The best part?  All of these discussions are FREE!!  RAPSA provides these resources and more for your work with at-promise youth.
