“The CoP has been a rewarding, thought-provoking, and enlightening experience for me. I’m still benefiting from the knowledge and relationships built and looking forward to the next CoP.”

Danielle Dufauchard
Principal at Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans

CoP Theory of action:

  • Connect as leaders across DCSC’s intentionally integrated member schools, so that practitioners can share experiences and build relationships.
  • Grow expertise in how they iterate upon best practices of diversity, equity, and inclusion to support all students.
  • Bring justice to education through developing tools for the field that disrupt the persisting status quo of racial and social inequality in schools.

Free for DCSC Members

Staff from any of DCSC’s active member schools or school networks are eligible to join any group at no cost.
