BayCES Coaching for Educational Equity Institute, Downtown Oakland, California.

Over the past 10 years, BayCES has created an advanced set of
curricular materials and methods for developing and training coaches
for educational equity. At this 3-day summer Institute, participants
will be supported to critically reflect and learn about the process of
coaching as a means of interruption, transition and transformation
toward equitable schools. The Institute is designed to connect
participants to their own experiences and to the experiences of others
in taking leadership and coaching for educational equity.  In order to
seriously address issues of educational equity, school coaches must
depart from "business as usual." This Institute provides the precious
time and space for participants to critically reflect upon what it
means to take up equity work as a school coach in her/his local
context in a thoughtful and provocative manner.

Participants will leave with:

• Increased self-awareness and knowledge about issues of systemic
oppression, power and privilege;
• Practical methods for improving relational trust within the school
and community;
• Skills to coach and facilitate leadership development, school change;
• Strategies for engaging in deeper dialogue about culturally
responsive pedagogy and instructional practices, student achievement
and equity.
