RIDES Virtual Community Webinar

RIDES launched its Virtual Community Webinar series in 2018, bringing together educators and practitioners into a community of learning. We discussed best practices for true integration, featuring esteemed guests who shared their expertise, including Zaretta Hammond and Pedro Noguera. Each month's intimate group discussion covered topics such as discipline disparities, partnering with students as equity leaders, leveraging human resources as a vehicle for creating sense of belonging among students and staff, and many more relevant problems of practice.

May 26, 2020 04:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

What have you been doing since March, are you doing now, and/or do you plan to do before the end of the school year, to keep your school or school system’s focus on race and equity?

Session 2:

Jun 9, 2020 04:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

What opportunities do you see in your planning for reopening schools next year to keep race and equity at the center? Recognizing that we will not be returning to the “old normal,” you may find it useful to think of these three sub-questions:

1. What aspects of the way your site has addressed race and equity in the past (before the pandemic) do you want to make sure to return to?

2. What aspects do you want to make sure you don’t return to?

3. What are some innovations and adaptations that are taking place during the pandemic --that are actually reducing inequities -- that you would like to hold onto?

How can we engage and cultivate students to become equity agents when many school efforts to increase equity treat them as subjects of improvement efforts designed and implemented by the adults? This month's topic was a 1.5 hour interactive discussion on how we can systematically include students as partners with adults in equity improvement work. The session highlights how powerful those disruptions can be – and the challenges of sustaining them – by bringing together the voices and experiences of high school students along with teachers and administrators who are working with them. Our guests inlcuded faculty and students of West High School of Iowa City, Iowa and The High School of Fashion Industries of New York, New York.
