Dr. Jill Harrison Berg presents:
Uprooting Instructional Inequity: The Power of Inquiry-based Professional Learning
Equity might be a professed priority of your school district and a term tossed around in your team meetings, but what can be done to make a discernible difference in equitable outcomes for students? Recognizing racialized patterns in school data and drawing attention to them is one thing; organizing ourselves to eliminate these patters is quite another. It’s not something we can do on our own, but it’s not something we can simply wait for our schools to do either. Uprooting Instructional Inequity takes both an individual and an organizational effort. In this 60-minute webinar, leaders at all levels will strengthen their understanding of how collaborative inquiry at the teaching team, school or district level can create conditions for both individual and systemic transformation so that they can learn their way to more equitable schools.
