Leading for Educational Equity
Presenters: E3’s Shauna Adams and Elaine Rector
Who should attend: Educators—teams of principals, teaching and learning facilitators (TLF’s) and other teacher leaders, with their E3 coach, who are:
-
Willing to address equity issues on a personal as well as an intellectual level;
-
Concerned about how race, class, gender and other forms of bias affect teaching, learning and achievement; and
-
Committed to taking responsibility for influencing change at your school.
Description: E3’s Leading for Educational Equity Institute (LFEE) is an intensive professional development program that provides intellectual and emotional support to education professionals working on issues of high student achievement and equity. At the Institute we seek to:
-
Build a network of caring, skilled leaders committed to bring about equity in their schools;
-
Build the capacity of leaders to lead and facilitate meaningful professional development to increase equity at their school sites and in their communities;
- Develop an on-going support and learning network in which leaders can continue to build their knowledge and skills for addressing equity issues; And increase the number of administrators, teacher-leaders and parent-leaders from under-represented groups.
What do participants gain?
To be uncompromising on equity is challenging, whether in the design phase for creating a school or in the reflective work of an existing school community. It requires identifying and incorporating equity-focused activities for teachers, administrators, and parents into the on-going professional development activities of the school. Participants will leave the Institute with:
-
Increased self-awareness and knowledge about the issues of systemic oppression, power, and privilege that mpact teaching and learning;
-
Practical methods for improving relational trust within the school and community; And
-
Strategies for engaging in deeper dialogue about instructional practices and student achievement.
