As a result of this Leadership EDIT conference session, participants will learn strategies for leveraging their leadership roles to facilitate racial equity work, support culturally sustaining teaching practices, and guide systemic change within their schools and districts.
Mythologies concerning race pervade our leadership and teaching practices, often shaping instructional decisions and leadership decisions in unexamined ways. We intend to get to the root of these mythologies by critiquing traditional narratives and dominant frameworks that influence schooling. This work is particularly relevant for leaders that play a critical role in shaping school culture, professional learning, and curricular priorities. By engaging in reflection, dialogue, and collaborative inquiry, participants will strengthen their capacity to lead equity-centered change in their schools.
This work helps provide an opportunity to support leaders in driving systems level change, influence structures, and lead equity-centered initiatives across their schools and districts. By deepening their awareness and leadership capacity, participants will be better equipped to foster inclusive learning environments and lead initiatives that promote social justice, belonging, and student empowerment.
