The Hidden Side of Transracial Adoptees at Our Schools

Our Workshop Summary

A student population often left out in the diversity, equity, and inclusion dialogue is transracial adoptees, due to the relative invisibility of their experience. Consequently, educators are left wondering how to best serve these students in the classroom. Supporting transracial adoptees is important in our commitment to diversity, as they possess a unique racial identity formation and an intersectional experience of family structure. Participants will hear from a panel of adult transracial adoptees that serve in various roles at our schools. These educators will provide personal experiences and reflections, an introduction to evidence-based frameworks, and an opportunity for dialogue on how to serve our students.
