Equity Centered Leadership
~45 minutes
You are the principal of Juniper Middle School, where overall trends seem to be going in the right direction. However, on deeper analysis, you uncover another story... a concerning trend that students of color, a growing population in your school, are underperforming, and not making progress or growth in significant content areas (particularly math). A significant number of students of color are also being over-identified for special services, making your participation significantly higher than the national averages. Students of color are also disproportionately engaged in disciplinary measures. You will deal with perceptions and biases that tend to cause students of color to feel disenfranchised and may limit their potential.
