Description:
In part II of the series, participants will describe the value of belonging in their own self-awareness journey to creating transformative educational systems. What role will they play in the work of creating belonging for every learner? How will they create spaces in their roles to disrupt disproportionate outcomes for students and improve school climate? Ultimately, how can we create and support change agents in education?
Objective:
This session will offer strategies and considerations for ensuring newly recruited and current staff have empowerment to shift their climates.
