Workshop – Cultivating Cross Racial Relationships – Antiracist Leadership
Antiracist Leadership Summit
Cultivating Cross Racial Relationships
“Leaders Who Co-Conspire Together, Transform Together”
Workshop Description
We continue to produce racially inequitable outcomes for our students, and our leaders are an untapped resource in our schools. For leaders of color, it can feel isolating and exhausting. What do you do? What conditions can better support your wellbeing and success? Maybe you are a white leader who wants to know: how do I show up, what do I say, and how do I better center the needs of BIPOC colleagues?
Let’s find out together. In this workshop, participants will work to unpack their racial identities, understand how their racial background impacts their leadership, and plan how to better maintain co-conspirator professional relationships. Through the use of dialogue, reflections, discussion protocols, and action planning, you will return to your site with a plan to more effectively collaborate and co-conspire.
Leaders of color will register site/school teams (minimum 2 participants) and invite white colleagues to join them for the workshop. There will be time for both racial affinity group work as well as cross-racial planning and development.
