Racial inequity impacts the full range of educational outcomes, from early childhood education to high school graduation and beyond. There is currently a significant amount of energy being put into the topic of education, but are we REALLY working in such a way that we will eliminate racial inequity? In this workshop, four members of the Race and Social Justice Community Roundtable will share their work to eliminate racial inequity in education using a racial equity collective impact model, highlighting work in the areas of school discipline, policy change, and legislation, and using a racial equity tool.
Get a brief overview of the development of a racial equity theory of change (RETOC) in early learning and engage your peers in a dialogue about reducing the opportunity gap for all children. You’ll discover how the RETOC can guide your daily work and how to flex your muscles as a leader for racial equity. Thrive by Five Washington and partners will share their real-world experiences and offer opportunities to continue this work and engage in future efforts.
Participants will have the opportunity to hear firsthand how the Healthy King County Coalition reviewed several equity tools, models, and processes to arrive at an Equity Toolkit to guide their work group decisions and priorities. Examples from the Coalition’s Equity Toolkit will be provided.
