This program is an opportunity for educators committed to the work of diversity, equity and inclusion to develop an understanding of practices and strategies to navigate their school community and institutional structure to affect change. Participants will use the latest research and facilitated discussion to explore a range of topics relevant to their work as agents of change in independent schools.

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 Intensive will provide opportunities to reflect on, discuss, and adapt approaches and practices that move schools in the direction of greater cultural competence in the policies and procedures that govern hiring, retention, and climate.

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 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.
