Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Learning Cohort - SD97000

This learning cohort will begin as introductory training on equity, diversity, and inclusion concepts and frameworks and build participants' capacity throughout our sessions. The sessions will include interactive discussions and exercises for participants to explore their own lenses and build awareness. We will move from a general overview of current trends and research and developing a common language about handling diversity topics, particularly race, gender, ability, and family structure as educators to skill building to creating a positive school climate where every student can thrive. The conversation will include understanding our perspectives and how these may impact our students.  Together we will ground the experiences of educators in research and foster a productive dialogue on how they best serve their students and families. 

Lunch is included for each session date.
