This workshop provides a space for teachers, administrators, and staff to better understand the DEI landscape in K-12 schools and engage with case studies and research, share professional and personal experiences, and learn new skills. Increase your DEI knowledge and awareness, and develop a toolbox in order to better support the creation of the equitable and inclusive communities our students deserve.

In this day-long workshop participants will apply theories of anti-bias education to the work being done every day in their classrooms.

Participants will work together to explore the dynamic topic of gender and creating gender inclusive schools and will increase their individual capacity to help their classrooms and schools embrace a wide range of genders, gender identities, and expressions.

This workshop will inform and inspire participants to move towards public-private school partnerships that deepen student learning, advance their school’s mission, and bring together schools with their greater community in meaningful ways.

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.
