Program: 2025-2026 - (DEI) Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Dates: 10/21/2025 to 6/10/2026
New

Join a powerful network of school district teams committed to advancing equity, and access in ways that transform classrooms and communities. This year, we will ground our work in Liz Kleinrock's Start Here, Start Now and connect its practical strategies directly to the New York State Portrait of a Graduate.

Over five full-day sessions, district teams will:

1.Engage in deep professional learning on equity-centered leadership and culturally responsive-sustaining practices.

2. Participate in guided book study discussions and collaborative activities that link Start Here, Start Now to Portrait of a Graduate attributes.

3. Design and refine a district-specific DEI initiative anchored to one of the six Portrait attributes.

4. Receive targeted support and coaching to move from concept to actionable implementation.

5. Showcase their work and leave with a clear action plan for 2026-2027.

By the end of the year, each team will have:

-Selected a Portrait of a Graduate attribute to anchor their DEI work.

-Designed and tested a district-specific initiative that advances equity and belonging in their school community.

-Developed stakeholder engagement and sustainability strategies to ensure lasting impact.

-Built strong cross-district connections to share resources, successes, and lessons learned.

Each participating district is strongly encouraged to register as a team of at least two members and up to 5.
