Brief Program Description
In this interactive workshop, participants will explore what it means to teach and lead for equity within the current challenging contexts in which we all find ourselves. Dr. Shields will guide participants through a series of practical exercises to explore their emerging understanding of how equity work connects to other teaching and learning initiatives.
In addition, the facilitator will guide participants through a series of reflective questions to deepen their understanding of equity work and give them tangible strategies that can be used immediately when engaging with their most vulnerable, underserved students. The professional learning tools highlighted in this session are intended to develop leaders with an equity lens and mindset. Leaders will actively work toward creating equitable practices, policies, and structures using an equity lens. They will be equipped to help related education networks and communities—small and large—to do the same.
