Anti-Racist Practices

CHOOSE ONE TO ANSWER:

How are you an anti-racist leader?
How do you want to be an anti-racist leader?
Select one of our anti-racist practices - what resonates for you? How? Why?

We create inclusive environments where all students' unique gifts and talents are discovered and cultivated, and where students' identities (racial, cultural, social, gender, etc.) are reflected all around them and matter through acknowledgement and affirmation.
We examine biases and an understanding of the concepts of institutional and structural racism and its impact on policies and practices, especially related to the administration of public education.
We have a passion for students: an ability to build meaningful relationships and a desire to "go above and beyond" to create homeplaces where Black joy is cultivated and thrives.
We have a commitment to seeing families as partners in education and communicating with them regularly.
