Deshna Charron Zoom | November 11 | 12 – 1:30 pm Eastern Around the world, communities are facing major social and systemic change. Signs of societal and environmental collapse are evident. Our attempts to live “independently,” create the experience of separation that leads to suffering, division and destruction, all of which runs counter to the sacred teachings present in all the World Religions, Earth-centered expressions and the teachings of Jesus. Nourishing children spiritually and equipping them with the skills they need to not just survive but thrive within this chaotic and stressful environment can ground, prepare, and inspire the next generation. We do this by providing spiritual practices, self-awareness exercises, and organizing tools so that youth and their communities may rise up resiliently, modeling a healthy, and whole way forward for all.

This panel will focus on kindergarten through high school, a vitally important part of our education system. Teachers in the physical and virtual classrooms of this group of learners are the crucial linchpins in shaping the academic and personal development of students. These educators specialize in a wide range of subjects including literature, social studies, the arts, history, and STEM. They are adept at customizing their teaching methods and materials to meet the diverse needs of students at different grade levels and with multiple demographic, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Besides their vital classroom-based role, educational professionals concurrently or alternatively have opportunities to become curriculum development and educational technology specialists, educational consultants, school administrators, instructional coaches, special education coordinators, education policy analysts, and textbook authors. The funding of education, the increasing violence in schools, the alarming decline in basic reading and math skills, and the emergence of new technologies such as laptop computers, the internet and now AI, have presented challenges to educators and administrators. In this highly practical Yale Career Panel webcast, we sit down with three exceptional professionals who are involved in various aspects of the K-12 education system. Our panelists will share the foundational lessons they learned, where they think K-12 education is heading, and what those in the profession, or who are thinking of entering the profession, need to know to be successful in this most challenging profession. Event Details Date and Time: Thursday, November 12, 2026 from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm EST (Virtual Panel) Registration: http://yalecareerpanels-11-12-26.eventbrite.com Panelists ● Elaine Chesebro: Educational Consultant and President of the New Jersey Association for Gifted Children ● Joanna Dolgin : K-12 English teacher ● Adam Falkner, PhD, Vice President of Program Experience at Pahara Institute ● Tara McKee: High School English teacher false

Luce Hall | Yale University | 34 Hillhouse Avenue | New Haven, CT 06511 Sponsored by the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition at the MacMillan Center, Yale University; Yale Peabody Museum; Yale Center for British Art; and Yale University’s Departments of Black Studies and of French This conference is made possible through the generous support of the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies’ Edward J. and Dorothy Clarke Kempf Memorial Fund, Yale University Coinciding with the Yale Peabody Museum’s exhibit, “Haiti in the Age of Revolutions: Larfargue Rigaud’s Portraits of Independence” (November 9, 2026-March 30, 2027), this conference explores a transformative moment in Haitian and Black New World history through the lens of portraiture. The exhibit will feature Lafargue Rigaud’s rare nineteenth-century paintings of Toussaint Louverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Henry Christophe, and other Haitian leaders, offering a window into the Haitian Revolution and Haitian statecraft. Part of the Yale Peabody Museum collection since 1963, this is the first time these portraits, which serve as visual records of leaders whose complicated legacies are interwoven with revolutionary movements across the Americas, will be on display at the museum. The Lafargue Rigaud portraits portray the leaders who led the only successful slave revolt in modern history in the French colony of Saint-Domingue, leading to the formation of Haiti, the second independent state of the Americas (in 1804) and later the first Black republic (post-1806). They also showcase the importance of artists, image making, and projection in 19th-century Caribbean culture while foregrounding Haiti’s active participation in intellectual revolutionary debates in the Americas and in Europe, including the documented participation of freedom fighters from French Saint-Domingue (present day Haiti) in the American Revolutionary War. Held during the opening week of the exhibit, this conference will situate Haiti’s revolution and 19th-century statecraft from a cultural and art historical perspective.
