Allyship to Accomplice
The sustainability of long term equity work that is necessary to truly change conditions for our students, requires a network of allies that are willing to learn about themselves and their craft, a space to support each other, push each other and create an affinity group of willing educators that will create a system of support for each other in service of our students.
Learning Sessions will be centered on the three aspects that weave into our capacity to hold and engage in equity work:
Our Identity- What do I understand about my own identity and how students may experience me?
Our Mindset- What is my own mindset and assumptions about my students’ ability?
Our Skillset-What skills do I have, and which do I need to meet the various needs of students?
Please sign up for our interest list to get information about when the next network will begin.
