Equity as Excellence is a unique opportunity for educators to receive concrete tools, research-based strategies, and guided practice to support diversity and equity work in their schools. Our method is rooted in the strong belief that equitable and inclusive teaching is simply good teaching, and all educators have the capacity to be equity leaders in their schools. We invite you to share your knowledge and engage in meaningful practice and reflection while learning from the top researchers in the fields of racial literacy and gender diversity.
We will focus on three areas for study and reflection:

Foundations of Diversity Pedagogy: multicultural education and the field's development over time

Curricular Scope and Sequence: examples of inclusive classroom lessons and teaching strategies

Leadership Best Practices: skills for administrators in leading a diverse community

Beginning with a thorough exploration of current research methods that support an inclusive teaching/learning environment, each day will include instruction on curriculum design along with leadership strategies that promote equity and sustain excellence. You will have time to engage with role-specific cohort groups so as to apply our work to your particular sphere of influence. We will also break out into racial affinity groups (people of color, multiracial, and white) to further our learning and skill development.

The Program Director for this Summer Institute is Elizabeth Denevi, Associate Director of East Ed, and Co-Founder of Teaching While White. Guest presenters and organizations include: Dr. Howard Stevenson, Tamisha Williams from Lick-Wilmerding High School, Randolph Carter from East Ed, Joel Baum from Gender Spectrum, and Malika Carter from Live Oak School.
New this year: Continue the learning!
CATDC is offering a coaching component to a limited number of individuals or teams from our member schools.

While four days of learning with and from experts and peers will add a great deal to your capacity as educators and leaders, we know that the opportunity for reflection with a skilled coach will deepen and amplify your learning and the potential impact at your school site. For an additional $800, a CATDC vetted coach will provide four hours of online coaching. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to work through challenges in implementation and celebrate your success!

This three-part online workshop serves to encourage local collaboration and provide tangible takeaways that affirm the experiences of People of Color (PoC) in independent schools and the broader community. Intended for people of color who are doing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) work in their school communities, participants will have the opportunity to bring to light common challenges and successes regarding DEI topics and collaborate on bringing positive change. Additionally, we will discuss our current experience with distance learning and the COVID-19 crisis, and the impacts on PoC's specifically.

Facilitated by The San Francisco Equity Leaders (SFEL) a cohort of DEI Directors from five Bay Area independent schools, this workshop will be a brave space for PoCs who are dedicated to working to disrupt the inequity that exists in education. Participants will leave with new energy to seek out and speak out "what's next?" as well as with new tools and strategies to develop strategic partnerships that can help move their institution from awareness to action and a culture of co-conspirators.

The SFEL team will present Layering On The Overcoats, A PoC Pack: a checklist that aims to affirm people of colors' experiences, and the additional burden we carry while navigating the world of independent schools. The PoC Pack brings to light daily microaggressions, addresses cumulative effects on PoCs, and reminds participants that PoCs are not alone in the struggle. This will be the foundation from which we will explore how to organize across schools, starting the important work of transforming historically exclusive communities into inclusive organizations. In smaller groups, participants will collaborate to create action plans to take back to their schools.
