Equity in Action: Moving the Organization Forward
This session will be dedicated to welcoming participants and facilitating a group inclusion experience that strengthens community and trust for learning together. This will be followed by a mini presentation and exploration of primary source documents that provide an understanding of the history of schooling and educational structures in the US. There will be time spent developing an asset based mindset when approaching equity work within schools and offices. Attendees will learn about and practice using an equity framework. They will engage with the framework by hearing a mini lecture about the stages of the framework, then using scenarios to develop their own understanding of the framework. Finally, they will use their own data and experiences in their current context to develop a plan of action with the equity framework. Time will be dedicated to giving and receiving feedback about the participant's plan of action and application of the equity framework.
