Xicanx Institute for Teaching and Organizing
XITO WA WINTER INSTITUTE IX
XITO is a grassroots, urban education consulting collective and non-profit organization committed to training teachers, school districts, and higher education institutions in decolonial and re-humanizing pedagogies and curriculum development.
XITO consultants provide teacher training in research-based best practices in culturally, socially, and historically responsive/sustainable/empowering pedagogical approaches that are highly effective with traditionally marginalized and underserved student populations, specifically with and for Xicanx/Latinx youth. This training is for teachers at the K-12 and university levels in the areas of English/language arts and history/social science.
THE INSTITUTE
XITO: a three-day institute for teachers, principals, and organizers from February 16-18, 2024. The Xicanx Institute for Teaching and Organizing, or XITO, will share its best practices in meeting the needs of students of color through a culturally responsive approach.
XITO TAKES IN LAK'ECH TO WASHINGTON STATE
This 3-day institute is an opportunity for educators, activists, and community organizers throughout the great northwest to engage in and learn about XITO's decolonizing and re-humanizing Ethnic Studies framework. This gathering is not a conference but rather an intensive professional development opportunity that participants can bring back to their own communities. XITO facilitators will share the liberatory, research-based pedagogy and community organizing skills that have led to the success of K-12 youth of color and BIPOC communities in general.
