In this workshop, we will be inviting both new teachers

and seasoned teachers in secondary schools and having
them discuss common myths that surround educators of
Latinx and Black Youth. We will examine common myths
that perpetuate the deficit models of thinking that hinder
progress for students of color in urban education. We will
be capturing why some of these myths may be thought of
us as true and not true.
