A six-session cohort designed for leaders committed to racial equity.

Discuss identity, race, leadership, and history in a brave and supportive space.

Leading for Racial Equity in schools requires so much more than technical proficiency in instruction and school operations. We must develop the ability to analyze how race and identity influence the experiences of our community and our students' learning. We must explore how our perceptions of equity, racial dynamics, and schooling inform our decisions and discourse. Ultimately, we must apply our understanding and convictions to develop actionable plans to address persistent and racialized opportunity gaps in our schools and classrooms. Space for Leading for Racial Equity is limited. If you are interested in joining the inaugural cohort, don't delay; enroll today. During our time together, we will: Connect with other equity-minded educators | Analyze how race influences and shapes our leadership | Develop our racial literacy and racial identity | Design equity action plans for our schools and classrooms.

“Leaders who do not actively engage in anti-racism are not simply neutral; they are complicit in the maintenance of the status quo of racism.”

– Bettina Love
