Anti-Racist Leadership

This course is intended for school and district leaders, but is beneficial for all educators, whether in formal positions of leadership or not. This course focuses on topics pertaining to the history and socialization of race, identity development, and the nuances between racial paradigms. It also sheds light on ways to ensure that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives remain impactful as intended and do not become oppressive.

Participants taking this course will be guided through some difficult, polarizing, but very important topics that continue to have a profound impact on society as a whole, today. On a micro level, symptoms of structural, systemic racism have seeped into schools, playing a major role in the reproduction of inequitable student outcomes. This course will take participants on a deep dive into practical strategies around what they can do within their school contexts and within themselves, to not just be non-racist, but to go deeper and become anti-racist.
