Session 1: Building a Personal & Team Equity Culture
January 27, 2020 12:00 - 4:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time with a break
The RIDES Equity Improvement Cycle brings together a key group of stakeholders (teachers, staff members, administrators and sometimes parents and students) to focus on a particular issue around equity at their school. Before beginning the cycle, it is essential that the working group have a solid understanding and willingness to work on the personal and professional impacts of racism and develop the common definitions they need to guide the equity work and enough relational trust to be able to work together. This virtual session will introduce the idea of building a Personal and Team Equity Culture as an initial and continuing requirement for engaging in equity improvement.
Participants will reflect upon each person’s experiences with racial identity and racism, create a common language to discuss experiences of oppression, and create an ethos of support and challenge that will build capacity to discuss these topics with one another.
Mid-Session team work: Team can expect to meet for at least 2 hours hours in between January 27th and February 1st to reflect on and process the PTEC-focused learning from Session 1, and prepare for the Equity Improvement Cycle focus of Session 2.
