In this monthly group, we will get together to collaborate, learn about, and discuss racial equity and diversity in schools. Each month we will rotate between sessions led by a facilitator with new content and sessions led by members of the cohort as they share something they are working on to inspire others, share resources, and receive feedback. Monica Belton, along with MiniPD, will share their expertise and facilitate the dialogue each month as the cohort learns, shares, and grows together.

Why Attend?

During the 2020-2021 school year, educators from around the world participated in a Racial Equity in Education cohort. This event was a resounding success as educators were able to explore the background about racism and take actionable steps towards supporting students and making their school communities anti-racist. We are excited to offer another event aimed at deepening the conversation!

Who should attend?

This event is for teachers and leaders who have already begun learning about racism and have begun using anti-racist strategies and practices in your school. This will provide you with the opportunity to deepen your learning, connect with a community of educators, and both share and gain practical ideas.

*Please note that the topics may shift based on the needs and interests of the cohort.

If you are just beginning the process of examining racial equity or looking for building your understanding, please join our Racial Equity in Education: Beginning the Conversation cohort.
