Description:

Although many leaders demonstrate the desire to improve or refine existing systems, there is also an inherent risk of offending stakeholder groups with a wrong word or phrase. This series is designed to help leaders consider fundamental concepts of equity work. While this is not intended to be a comprehensive training, this mini-series will build attendees' understanding of the greater context of equity and how to lead at a time when the word itself is perceived in so many ways. Topics will include: talking about the concepts of equity; identity and bias; power and privilege; and ways policies and practices can support everyone. Sessions will be formatted to provide content knowledge and tools to foster the application of that knowledge. Each session will be recorded & available on a time-limited basis for two weeks after the session is scheduled. 

 

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will learn fundamental concepts related to equity in education. 
  • Participants will acquire strategies for introducing and discussing these concepts to staff.
  • Participants will understand ways that data and policies can be used to create more inclusive environments.
