Beyond Conversations About Race Portable Event Package

We find it difficult to talk about race. We find it even more difficult to develop a plan to eliminate the inequities rampant within our schools and communities. Join our education thought leaders as they tackle the issues of racism, cultural incompetence, and complacency.

Tolerance alone is a very low bar—let’s aim higher. Use this powerful event as a springboard for teachers, administrators, and community members to enter into respectful dialogue that creates a call to action and a plan to do better.

Participants will:

Evaluate the failures of racial tolerance
Analyze the impact of well-intentioned labels on students
Motivate colleagues to transform feelings into actions
Apply the evidence on racial justice to specific actions in schools
Gain ideas for ensuring more educators of color are in our schools
Develop a positive and nondefensive response to bias
Identify tactics and tools for advocacy
Apply awareness of bias to real-world situations with students and colleagues
Understand the distinction between fault and responsibility
Acquire the best practices in engaging parents, students, and community members
