Center for Equitable and Effective Leadership
Coaching for Educational Equity Seminar
What is the Coaching for Educational Equity Seminar?
To seriously address issues of educational equity requires those who work in education to depart from business as usual. This 4-day residential seminar provides the precious time and space for participants to critically reflect upon what it means to take up equity work in their local context in a thoughtful and proactive manner. But I'm not a coach...
Whether you are an external partner, a school leader, or a classroom teacher, coaching is something that we all do on a daily basis to build capacity in those around us. Coaches play a variety of roles from mirror to team leader to facilitator to cheer leader. If you are a catalyst for improvement, a guide on the side, or someone who models what they expect from others, you are a coach! Why attend the Coaching for Educational Equity Seminar?
The reason(s) for attending might be found in one or more of the questions below:
* Are you committed to identifying and eliminating policies, practices, and behaviors resulting from an inequitable school system?
* Do you have a clear theory of action for how to redesign school structures and re-culture school communities to create equitable schools?
* Do you find it challenging to facilitate honest and productive dialogue when issues of equity or inequity are raised in your school community?
* Are you frustrated with the slow progress your school community has made building bridges across difference, despite your commitment to do so?
* Do you think it would be strategic for you to learn and share with colleagues about coaching for educational equity?
Consider attending this seminar if you are:
* Willing to address equity issues on a personal as well as an intellectual level.
* Concerned about how race, class, gender and other forms of bias affect the process of school change, teaching, learning and achievement.
* Looking for a high leverage strategic opportunity to reflect, share and learn with colleagues about coaching explicitly toward achievement and equity goals in schools.
