Spring 2023 Summit
By request from educators, the January 3rd Racial Justice, Equity and Healing Virtual Summit "UPLIFTING Student & Family WISDOM" offers sessions all led by OUSD student leaders, family leaders and community leaders who have prioritized what they want our OUSD educators to know and build skills in. As part of our work to implement deep listening, growth mindset, and transforming relationships of power, we want to put our students, families and communities back at the center of our professional learning.
This summit is designed to challenge our internalized adultism, racism, and classism that dismisses voices who should be at the center and tables of decision-making in our school district.
As we continue to build our Community Schools site plans, strengthen meaningful School Site Council representation, and build real partnerships with family and student leaders to co-construct our schools, we invite educators to listen and learn with leaders in our district who are asking our staff to be visionary, transformative and in partnership with them to re-imagine new ways of schooling, learning and youth development.
