EDUCATIONAL EQUITY CONSULTANTS

Since 2001, Educational Equity Consultants has worked with approximately 1,400 district leaders and school faculties through the Leadership & Racism Program (formerly call the Teaching and Leading as Social Justice Advocacy Program).

The Leadership & Racism Program (LRP) explores how our own attitudes about race and racism might be limiting students’ capability to achieve. Through a process of challenging introspection and reflection, educators learn to identify behaviors and policies that adversely affect how students see themselves and their potential to succeed in school. Most importantly, participants develop ways to alter or eliminate those behaviors, and build positive strategies for their schools and districts to adopt.
