What: Want more time to clarify or identify your equity focus with your team?  This professional learning is for you!  Identify a specific equity issue, as a team, that we will continue working with throughout this learning journey by exploring our identities, deeply listening to students on the margins, and analyzing the characteristics of white supremacy culture. 

In person during session 1, you will: 

• • Feel connected to each other and to a shared purpose by sharing our stories. 

• • Critically analyze White Supremacy Culture’s effects on our internal state of being, and how this affects our work with each other and our youth. 

• • Learn and use a shared language to understand systemic oppression, specifically racism, through relevant examples. 

Virtually in session 2, you will: 

• • Complete and share an Epistemology map that will help us explore our own experiences with identity, mastery, belonging, and efficacy. 

• • Learn the differences between Satellite Data, Map Data, and Street Data and reflect on how data drives decisions we make as leaders.  

• • Plan for ways to collect a variety of street data between now and our next session 

Virtually in session 3, you will: 

• • Share our street data with one another, analyzing what students shared, and reflecting on what we heard and did not hear. 

• • Learn about and analyze the Agency Framework in Street Data. 

• • Learn about, participate in, and prepare for empathy interviews with our students on the margins. 

Back in person for session 4, you will: 

• • Examine what we have learned by listening to our students through empathy interviews. 

• • Name and commit to exploring a specific equity issue for our team throughout our LAEP learning journey.  

• • Reflect on our team learning, our experiences, and how we can utilize our learnings in an ongoing way.
