Watch John Krownapple and Floyd Cobb, PhD, authors of Belonging Through a Culture of Dignity: The Keys to Successful Equity Implementation, as they share insights into equity implementation. In the summer of 2020, racial inequality and injustice captured the world’s attention, leading many school and district leaders to “do something” about its effect on students. For many, this started what we call the Dysfunctional Cycle of Equity Work, which includes a predictable backlash. Educational leaders in many states across the country are contending with this very reality as legislatures in numerous states take steps to restrict efforts to advance diversity, equity and inclusion. In this recorded edWebinar, Floyd and John share insights that will help you avoid missteps with implementation and come to understand how greater success must align with proven frameworks for school transformation.

From this recorded edWebinar, viewers will be able to:

  • Define the phases and stages of the Dysfunctional Cycle of Equity Work
  • Develop knowledge of the concepts foundational to equity and essential to successful implementation
  • Illuminate proven theories of action for equity implementation

This recorded presentation will be of particular value to school superintendents, K-12 school and district leaders, and aspiring leaders.
