1. DEI Matters: A Foundational DEI Professional Learning Journey for Today's Educator

Program: PPD

Audience: Any K-12 Educator, Counselor, Assistant, or Administrator

Dates: 11/28/2023 to 3/25/2024

YOU MAY REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT AT ANYTIME, EVEN PAST THE FIRST DATE AS ALL CONTENT IS ASYNCHRONOUS AND SELF-PACED. DEI MATTERS is an asynchronous online self-paced professional learning course for in-service educators in today's schools. New York State Board of Regents and the State University of New York have called to action the prioritization of DEI efforts in our schools. Educators often find themselves underprepared to meet this call to action because they may lack or have gaps in their foundational knowledge of DEI matters in education. Let's change that! This professional learning course gives educators access to ten recorded DEI modules. Each module builds off the other and intentionally carves out a sustainable DEI pathway for educators to talk the talk and begin walking the walk in ways that personally and pedagogically empower themselves and can equitably affirm, include, support, and uphold their students in PK-16 schools. Each module contains a critically reflexive learning checkpoint and includes accompanying resource documents. There is a guided notes action plan document that can be completed with each module. There is also a dialogue facilitation document for self-processing or group-processing. Educators who complete the professional learning course receive a DEI MATTERS certificate of completion. Module topics include: (1) Building a DEI community; (2) DEI Literacy: Key terms and concepts; (3) Social identities and education; (4) Microaggressions, bias and education; (5) A DEI educational framework: Culturally-responsive sustainable education; (6) Building an inclusive classroom; (7) Anti-racist education (8) Anti-classist education; (9) DEI dialogic pedagogy skills for dialogues across difference; (10) Allyship, coalition building, and solidarity in education.
