Target Audience: Educators K-12
Using restorative practices to build a brave space, we will meet to apply mindfulness principles and practices to our journeys as anti-racist educators with the goal of developing discomfort resilience surfacing:
implicit bias
fears of “getting” it wrong,
gaps in our knowledge,
and racial identity development awareness.
Meeting monthly, we will seek to cultivate the courage, discernment, and vulnerability needed to “dare greatly”, as Brené Brown says; to use our power and privilege to speak out, educate, and lead in this country’s journey towards racial justice and equity.
As part of this cohort, you will be asked to read one article or book excerpt per month.
