School Shout Out
We kicked off the year with our Anti-Bias Antiracism (AB/AR) theme of Identity Awareness and Action. This year we honor one school a month though we know you are all putting AB/AR into action! This year's first school shout out goes to Mt. Eden High School!!! Click here to see some examples of how Mt. Eden High School leaned into our theme as they applied an ILT activity to create collective identity statements...
AB/AR for Students
STUDENTS!!! Names hold a big importance to all of us. They are who we are, the mark of our identity and each name is special and unique in its own way.
