About This Program:

Together, teacher leaders and administrators explore how current systems of oppression affect our students and how to strategically, and compassionately, interrupt those through relationship-building, policy-making, and intentional practice. This very practical workshop allows participants to engage in interactive experiences to build knowledge and skill around key ways to being, beliefs, and behaviors to develop an inclusive and thriving school.

Workshop Outcomes:

  • Ground in the identities and beliefs informing your work
  • Understand how your leadership is conducive to creating equitable spaces
  • Examine how the systems, structures, and policies in your local context may hinder equity efforts
  • Learn new strategies and approaches to compassionately interrupt and stop inequitable practices
  • Refine the leadership required of you to create and maintain equitable learning spaces

Activities Include:

  • Exploration of identities and origins of beliefs
  • Interrogation of existing policies and systems
  • Growing strategies for building relationships with students
  • Refining approaches to classroom visits and hiring practices
  • Deepening understanding of leadership
  • Observing a transformational, equity-centered coaching conversation
