BEYOND DIVERSITY is a powerful and personally transforming two-day workshop designed to help teachers, parents and administrators consider the implications of racism, exclusion and prejudice on student learning. During the seminar, participants will engage in a thoughtful, compassionate exploration of racism and how it manifests today in our culture and in our schools. A critical workshop outcome is an awareness of the degree to which racism and other diversity issues are part of educational failure. Participants will explore strategies of identifying and addressing policies and practices that negatively impact students’ ability to meet rigorous academic standards.
