Ms. Burris from Oklahoma City OK is requesting professional development through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Professional development

Professional Development for Race, Equity, and Leadership in Schools

I need to go to Harvard for professional development to openly address, through courageous conversations, the role of racism in creating and sustaining educational inequity.

My Students

H. is a charter school in Oklahoma City. Our students are gifted, both academically and artistically. We strive to expose them to many different experiences in school.

The student body reflects diversity in all areas and come together to learn and support one another.

As a Title I school, a majority of our students live in poverty. Despite their different backgrounds, the student body loves to come together to as a family to celebrate their diversity and passion for success.

My Project

Leading inclusive schools, where all students are afforded equal opportunities to achieve, requires an understanding of the intersections of race, identity, power, and privilege and calls for strong leaders who have the courage and capacity to engage in thoughtful reflection, conversation, and action within their school communities. Race, Equity, and Leadership in Schools will frame important discussions around why this work matters, offer a historical and cultural context for understanding how inequities play out within our schools and communities, and provide the skills and confidence needed to lead excellent and equitable schools.

I will return to my school and be well prepared to identify and implement concrete strategies for building inclusive institutions while reflecting on personal accountability within my learning environment.

I will also bring back to my school a deeper understanding of the history and significance of racism and inequities; the courage and skills to engage in thoughtful conversation about these issues; and the learning derived from exploring these issues with other school leaders from across the country.
