2021 AFT TEACH Conference

I am Genetra N. Robinson from Jackson, MS representing Local #4402 American Federation of Teachers Jackson. I’m so excited foe this year’s TEACH Conference! This will be my 2nd one!

I am also looking forward to getting to meet everyone. <br><br>Enjoy the sunshine ?

Hope to attend TEACH21 this year.

My name is Theresa Bruce and I am an educator in Baltimore City Public Schools. I am a middle school Social Studies teacher. I am looking forward to connecting with fellow educators invested in dismantling the white supremacy culture within the education system as well as concerned about student and teacher wholeness. I hope the sessions on student/educator well being and creating anti racist classrooms will do this. Additionally, I am very interested in content related sessions such as those for civic education.

I teach high school Biology and AP Biology serving a majority Latinx population. My students typically have major gaps in knowledge sans pandemic, and I know that they and their families have faced a lot this year. Absences are through the roof, and I am looking forward to learning more about how to fill those gaps while still moving forward.

I am a MN Licensed Parent and Family Educator working in Early Childhood Education primarily with infants and toddlers. I am hoping the conference will offer intensive tracks for those working in schools as licensed professionals with parents and/or with children in the first years of life.
