Dear all
Thank you to staff that attended the Building Equity Meeting yesterday. In the PowerPoint attached to this email, you will find:
District provided resources to hold conversations with students/ colleagues after difficult local/national event soon after or as we engage in conversations in the process of educating ourselves.
Recording of a presentation by students from the Chinese Culture club in which they talk about China & some prevalent stereotypes about the country that people face locally & internationally.
Few more resources/ programs we could recommend to students of color/ women.
Some resources to get started on Womens History Month coming up. I will send more resources from the District Equity Newsletter.
Once more, it is only recommended that we align with History months to ensure maximize representation, but we must most certainly encourage an organic conversation that lends itself as a teaching moment for our students on topics related to DEI.
Thank you for your time & have a great rest of your week.
