Still teaching the classics the same way... and wondering if it’s enough?

How often do you catch yourself feeling:

Unsure if your curriculum reflects your values
Stuck between what you have to teach and what you want to teach
Frustrated trying to make outdated texts feel relevant

Are you constantly trying to “update” lessons without a clear framework?

Have you been teaching the same canonical texts, just adding small tweaks and hoping it’s enough?

Are you spending hours searching for better materials, only to feel like you’re piecing things together?

Do you ever wonder why this feels harder than it should, while others seem confident in their approach?

You’re not alone. And more importantly, this isn’t a you problem.
Because literary canons are not neutral.

Imagine if you didn’t have to debate the canon…

you could redesign it

With this 2-hour live workshop, you’ll learn how to:

Keep, replace, or pair texts with clarity (not guilt or guesswork)
Move beyond performative updates into intentional design
Build units that reflect equity, rigor, and relevance

No more:

Guessing which texts are “okay” to teach
Overhauling everything from scratch
Feeling stuck between standards and values

Instead, imagine:

Walking into your classroom with confidence

Teaching classics in ways that actually resonate

Knowing your curriculum reflects truth, not just tradition

You don’t need more books. You need a better framework.

This workshop is not about canceling the classics.

It’s about this: The stories we elevate in our classrooms shape how students understand the world and their place within it.

We’re moving:

Beyond debate
Beyond guilt
Beyond “just add diversity”

And into intentional design.

What You’ll Learn Inside

In this 2-hour live workshop, we’ll cover:

What actually makes a text a “classic” (and why that matters)
Why those standards are cultural, not neutral
The real limitations of canonical literature
How certain texts reinforce narrow or harmful narratives

Then we move into what to do instead:

How to replace a text (with planning tool)
How to pair a text (with planning tool)
How to keep a text, but teach it differently
Antiracist teaching strategies you can apply immediately
Sample thematic text sets (including AP-ready strategies + prompts)

What You Get

This is not just a workshop. It’s a toolkit.

You’ll receive a downloadable packet including:

Text Replacement Planning Tool

Text Pairing Planning Tool

Antiracist Teaching Strategies (from the workbook)

Replay included

This work didn’t come from theory.
It came from years of:

Teaching the same canonical texts
Seeing what wasn’t landing
Watching students disengage
And asking: there has to be a better way

Through that process, we realized:

You don’t need to throw everything out
You don’t need to defend every choice
You need a system for making decisions

That’s what this workshop gives you.

Educators who’ve engaged with this work have shared:

"This made me think deeper about my teaching than anything else I’ve done."

"The strategies were clear, practical, and immediately usable."

"I finally feel like I know what to do, not just what’s wrong."

"It didn’t feel overwhelming. It felt doable."

This workshop is for you if:

You teach canonical texts (or are required to)
You want to make your curriculum more equitable
You’re tired of surface-level updates
You want clarity, not more confusion
