 As children are hearing more about the upcoming election(s) online and in the media, they likely will have many questions. To avoid confusion, fear, and misinformation, it is important for trusted adults in their lives to guide these conversations. In this session, Dr. Shelby Kretz, Founder of Little Justice Leaders, will share a framework for talking to kids about current events in developmentally appropriate ways, cover how to respond to difficult comments or questions from kids, how to initiate the conversation, and how to determine if your learners already have developed any biases or misunderstandings. 

This session will delve into the crucial role of representation in leadership, focusing on age, race, and the power of personal stories to inspire change. Markus will share how diverse representation can ensure all students benefit, not just the privileged few. The discussion will include practical steps to ensure authentic representation in decision-making, especially in districts with a majority of marginalized students. Policy examples will cover hiring leaders who reflect the student body, proclaiming June as Pride Month for a safer environment, and supporting clean energy projects for healthier communities.
