The Equity Symposium is an opportunity to learn from each other with a focus on racial equity. Our colleagues from Highline and beyond will present on a range of topics to challenge us to deepen our capacity for equity.
All staff will attend two sessions:
An All-Staff Anti-Bias Training
Additionally, staff will select an Elective session
We know the opportunity gap negatively impacts students of color and students living in poverty, but what can we do about it? In this session, we will explore the role of literacy in relation to equity and opportunity for our students. Using texts and vocabulary from our own content areas, we will develop and practice instructional strategies to help students build content-specific literacy skills that will level the playing field and increase student achievement across the disciplines.
