Equity in Action Leadership Academy

Dare to be BOLD: From Equity Aspirations to Equity in Operation

Session 1: Journey into the Equity Imperative

Presenter: Pamm Moore

Are you ready to embark on a journey to dive deeper into the equity imperative? Session One of the Equity in Action Leadership Academy will create the groundwork to explore your equity journey. Only by exploring self-reflection, engaging in collaborative conversations, and uncovering structural and systemic assumptions, can you advance and change equity in your school. Participants will work collaboratively across teams to understand how advancing equity can create a healthier, more positive and engaging learning environment for all learners. Throughout the session, participants will begin to create a toolbox of strategies for equity work that will support you or your team in solving a problem of practice you are facing in your district.

Session 2: Driving the Equity Imperative Through Dialogue and Data

Presenter: Dr. George Jackson

How are you using data to identify your equity priorities? How will it be shared to begin the courageous conversations that will lead to implementation of equitable practices? Participants will name and share their WHY for engaging in this work and explore the three levels of data – map, satellite and street data – looking at each through an equity lens. The use of street data will be highlighted as an essential means of understanding student agency and voice. In preparation for developing a problem of practice, the power of guiding teams for taking action will be discussed.

Session 3: Moving the Equity Imperative to Address Systemic Change Progress

Presenter: Kerri Waibel

What barriers and challenges must be uncovered and addressed in order to create a system in which equitable practices are fully implemented in a culture that embraces access and opportunity? Participants will continue to build their capacity to create coherence within the system by maximizing shared accountability and embedding structures and processes that focus on deep learning practices. Using a coherence lens, presenters will provide additional feedback for participant’s problems of practice.

Session 4: Equity in Operation: Now and in the Future

Presenters: Pamm Moore, Dr. George Jackson, and Kerri Waibel

What are we learning as we create a coherent system for our learners through a focus on equity? What shared commitments, partnerships, and new practices have been implemented? The final session is driven by team and individual educator needs as presenters support participants in a deeper dive into why certain data was selected for the PoP and how to overcome barriers to implementing the intended actions.
