Professional Development & Caregiver Workshops
We partner with educational organizations to develop and deliver professional development and caregiver workshops to increase the academic outcomes of neurodivergent students of color.
Our Multi-Year Partnership Supporting Social Studies Educators
Since 2022, Realized Curriculum Solutions partnered with the Center for Civic Education to design and deliver professional development workshops to social studies educators and non-profit leaders in civic education to develop, adapt, and implement civics curriculum solutions that empowers students of color, multilingual learners, and neurodivergent learners to become of aware of their civil liberties, the governance structures within the United States of American, and push for positive changes within their schools and communities.
He supported educators and curriculum developers with making their award-winning civics curriculum solutions, We The People and Project Citizen, more accessible and culturally relevant to students of color, multilingual learners, and neurodivergent learners through their James Madison Project Legacy Expansion (JMPLE) and Civics Empowering All Students (CEAS) federal grants. Leroy trained social studies educators on how to embed the components of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL), culturally relevant pedagogy, and CASEL's social-emotional learning frameworks to support the civics development of students in grades 6-12 throughout the United States of America.
A Partnership Empowering Black Male Students with Autism
In 2025, Realized Curriculum Solutions partnered with Autism in Black to design and deliver a pre-recorded webinar for their inaugural 2025 Autistic Boys, Fathers, and Men Virtual Summit. During this webinar, our founder and CEO, Leroy Smith, M.Ed., taught caregivers how to shift from a gatekeeping mindset to a liberating mindset to empower Black boys with learning differences. Caregivers learned 5 empowerment strategies to increase the academic outcomes of Black male students with learning differences.
Let's see what Maria, the founder and CEO of Autism in Black, had to say about our caregiver workshop.
