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
