Leading With Courage and Commitment: Reclaiming the Narrative for Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging in Schools. Webinar aired live November 10, 2021. • The video contains moments for reflection and sharing. Please share your thoughts in this form: https://forms.gle/fAjHPgLz9qkKLq5t5. • Equity Messaging Guidance for School Districts: https://www.nationalequityproject.org... • Over the past two decades, many school districts across the United States have engaged in some form of ‘equity work’ in an effort to change persistent racialized patterns in student experience and achievement. Communities have engaged in a wide range of efforts to increase opportunity and expand educational excellence and equity. While the impacts of these efforts vary, much has been learned about (and brain/neuroscience supports) the benefits of creating student centered and culturally sustaining approaches to teaching and learning. • Yet, today diversity, equity, and inclusion work is under increased scrutiny and controversy in many school districts. While framed as a debate about “critical race theory”, the programs and initiatives under attack more often include research-based efforts intended to increase opportunity and fairness in our schools, classrooms, and curriculum. • How might we use this moment of contention to inspire, engage, and activate our communities to protect educational approaches that ensure every young person has access to the resources, opportunities, and relationships they need to learn, develop, and thrive? • LaShawn Routé Chatmon, Kathleen Osta, and Stephen Chang of the #NationalEquityProject host this webinar exploring how we can effectively communicate about and take collective leadership for the schools and educational environments that our young people are demanding and deserve. • Learn more at www.nationalequityproject.org. • #LeadingforEquity #LiberatoryDesign
