FACTORING DEI INTO YOUR DISTRICT'S WORK
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO JOIN US FOR TONIGHT'S webinar, Clarifying the Culturally Responsive Framework (6:30 pm - 8:30 pm) - hear from our expert panel on what the Culturally Responsive Framework looks like in our schools. This difficult work, making our schools more equitable and inclusive, looks different in every district. Ask your district clerk to get you on our list and make the time to listen in tonight and learn about some ways this effort can be managed (and see the Tea to Go summary early next week for a link to participate in a post-panel discussion on Friday, 10/22).
SUPERINTENDENT'S INTENDED REALITY CHECK MET WITH LOCAL PUSHBACK
A SUPERINTENDENT'S LETTER TO HER SCHOOL community about racism following George Floyd's death leads to substantial tension and the harassment of teachers. This incident revealed the depth of disparity of views on equity issues in schools in a high-performing Maryland school district, with the superintendent feeling the brunt of the backlash. A cautionary tale about how superintendents and board members need to work together toward a unified vision for the school district.
A LONG HISTORY OF SCHOOL INVOLVEMENT IN VACCINE ROLLOUTS
SCHOOLS WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN THE FIGHTS against diphtheria and polio, so can they influence COVID vaccine efforts too? We have an unprecedented test of public health, yet current conditions make it questionable whether schools can continue to be critical sites upon which public health officials rely for high vaccination rates. Experts are concerned as to whether we can turn back a page and be confident about methods that worked in the past.
