Training Format

These webinar sessions will be facilitated online using the Zoom webinar platform. Sutra will also be used to create an online learning experience that fosters a safe space for engagement, sharing, and meaningful conversation.

Registration Fees

There are NO registration fees to participate in these events. The series is funded through federal special education dollars through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) with the purpose of building capacity in school systems and staff to lead for racial equity. By doing so, we believe rigorous and welcoming spaces will be created where all students can thrive and grow.
