Leading For Equity… Empowering Staff To Lead The Work FILLING
Thursday March 27, 2025 10:15am - 11:30am PDT
C
Leading for equity is one of the most rewarding and difficult challenges leaders face today.  It requires time, dedication, persistence, and in many cases “unlearning”.  Prior to engaging in equity work with stakeholders leaders must build learning structures and routines that continuously develop racial consciousness in themselves and their staff.  In this session, we will provide a detailed analysis of a process for becoming leaders of a culture of self-reflection, distributive/shared leadership, and collective responsibility for equity while providing first hand accounts from staff members on how these changes are spreading throughout the school.  The goal of the session is to first understand what equity work is and how we, as educational leaders, can build a systemic culture of equity.  A secondary goal is to have session participants reflect on their own racial consciousness and how that can impact their leadership, in turn affect school transformation.
