School change is hard. Centering the experiences of those most marginalized in a rural, predominantly white district can feel impossible. Emma Vastola and Kate Leath from Two Rivers Supervisory Union (TRSU) will share how they have been working to address the culture of “sameness” and the subtle ways that a presumed lack of diversity can impact change. Join the TRSU leaders to learn more about how they have leaned on Universal Design for Learning, data-informed decision-making, and their Portrait of a Graduate to engage educators in equity-centered change.
Participants will:
- Learn about an ongoing change process in a rural public school district.
- Discuss strategies to facilitate conversations around educational equity.
- Identify next steps in their own school or district.
