Goals of the Equity Fellows Experience
Build a community of leaders who grow and develop racial-identity, liberatory consciousness and culturally responsive praxis.
Individually empower you to leverage your racial identity into promising culturally responsive practices that can authentically live in school communities.
Create a “safe-container” for you to practice engaging in courageous conversations, calling out inequity, and calling in potential collaborators/partners with power and influence.
Honor the different entry points for each of you individually, and the learning environment you represent.
Align our direct work with students and families to the New York State Integration Grant goals.
