Equity & Racial Literacy for School Leaders & Staff to Maximize Student Learning

April 1, 2025, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Learning to lead your school community during a pandemic requires a process that assesses the adaptability of your organization. Model what it means to be a life-long learner as you move from colorblindness to color consciousness in preparing students for a global 21st century world that is far from race neutral as evidenced by COVID-19. Begin building an equitable learning environment by examining how your personal experiences and attitudes impact your professional practices. Use your sphere of influence to create a space for loving accountability that addresses the individual intersecting social identities of students, cultivates their cultural capital, empowers them intellectually and emotionally, while sustaining professional learning for adults around educational equity and racial literacy.
