This workshop is for self-identified white educators and will provide a chance to engage in a mindfulness-informed exploration of our white racial conditioning together in community.

In this interactive, one-day workshop participants will learn practical strategies for facilitating courageous conversations, collaborate with other facilitators advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion work, and gain a visual toolset to support their facilitation practice.

In this day-long workshop, participants will apply theories of anti-bias education to the work they do everyday in their classrooms. For the first part of the day, we will review several different models for shifting our curricula to align with best practices and to be more responsive to the children in our classrooms. Then, we will apply the research and frameworks of understanding to a variety of case studies that reflect the challenges and situations we face as independent school educators.

In this workshop, participants will explore strategies, gain new resources, and develop classroom activities and lessons to guide elementary students in learning age appropriate concepts.

This full-day workshop serves to encourage local collaboration and provide tangible takeaways that affirm the experiences of People of Color (PoC) in independent schools and the broader community. Intended for people of color who are doing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) work in their school communities, participants will have the opportunity to bring to light common challenges and successes regarding DEI topics and collaborate on bringing positive change.

This workshop will provide training for educators who are currently facilitating, or considering implementing, racial affinity groups. We will share theory, practice, and structures for elementary through high school students, staff, and parents.

Equity as Excellence is a unique opportunity for educators to receive concrete tools, research-based strategies, and guided practice to support diversity and equity work in their schools. Our method is rooted in the strong belief that equitable and inclusive teaching is simply good teaching, and all educators have the capacity to be equity leaders in their schools.
