Why attend the BayCES Leading for Equity Institute?

To explore these questions:

What are the equity issues in your school, district, organization, or
community and how can you take leadership to diagnose and address them?

What strategies and approaches can you use to build trust, have productive
dialogue and take informed action with members of different racial,
socio-economic, or language groups in your community?

How can you utilize professional learning opportunities to deepen your
equity work?

What is the Leading for Equity (LFE) Institute?

The LFE Insitute is a residential institute where individuals and teams from
schools, districts, and community organizations receive expert, caring
guidance and facilitation to work together to address the personal and
technical challenges they face in their educational equity efforts.

We define “leader” as anyone who takes responsibility for what matters to
them, and we work with leaders on developing their capacity to foster
positive change on behalf of historically underserved students and
families.This experiential institute provides ample opportunities for
sharing, reflection, and planning to inform your current work.

Participants will examine:

- The effects of racism and other biases on education policies and practices
- Individual and organizational dynamics that impede the success of change
efforts
- How to improve collaborative relationships and build teams and alliances
in diverse settings
- Concrete skills for leading change in challenging contexts toward your
current equity goals
- The importance of emotional intelligence and trust in leading equity
efforts
- Research, tools, and other resources for equity-focused leadership and
team development
