Educator Agency Training – Deconstructing Systemic Barriers Institute

The CA Perkins Joint Special Populations Advisory Committee is excited to bring their Professional Development "Educator Agency Training- Deconstructing Systemic Barriers" to the San Diego region.

This year's professional development will be facilitated by Equity on Everything, LLC, CEO, Joseph Graham, and focused on connecting the dots between systemic racism and the impact of decision-making for underserved populations.

The professional development training is to help educators see through the lines, challenge the lines, and connect the dots. The impact of issues is not siloed and solutions should not be created in siloes. In order to address the root of inequities in education, we must deconstruct and confront the patterns and practices in all areas. It can’t be silo efforts, it must be educator agency effort in all areas of the institution, organization, and workforce.

The training will take place December 6^th-7^th with a “Let’s Deconstruct Party on December 5^th. The training will be hosted at the San Diego Marriott Mission Valley. Registration will close on November 23^rd.

Learn more about the event and register here.
