Leading Equity Work in a Majority White School

June 10, 2025, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Regardless of the demographics of a school, all school leaders need to understand their own role in ensuring that their school is an inclusive, affirming environment for all students and staff. Two school leaders of a majority white school in a fairly affluent suburb of Chicago will share their experiences working with students and staff in order to ensure that the school is culturally responsive and supportive of minority students. They will share ideas and programs that they implemented with little to no cost as well as more wide-scale activities. Participants will be empowered to assess their own schools’ current culture and practices, evaluate various staff and student programs, and design their own plans that will foster a school culture that values individual diversity and provides equal opportunities to all students and staff.

IPA will deliver this ONLINE training through Zoom. To participate in the virtual workshop, you must have Internet access, a web camera, and a microphone.

You will receive the Zoom training link, handouts and detailed instructions in the registration confirmation from netforum@ilprincipals.org. If you don’t see the confirmation in your inbox after registering, please email workshops@ilprincipals.org.
