Events for Intentionally Integrated Schools

This live virtual event is hosted by DCSC member, City Neighbors Foundation.

Ten years ago, City Neighbors Foundation sought to create an opportunity for educators and advocates to gather, learn, and network. They added inspirational keynote speakers, provided breakfast and lunch, and the first Progressive Education Summit was born. And they committed to provide all of it at no cost to the participants.

Ten years later, this event calls to reimagine schools rooted in democracy, social justice, and authentic engagement. In acknowledgment of the new virtual landscape, this Summit is held over the course of several days using an entirely revised and virtual format:

• Tuesday, January 19, 7 PM:   Kickoff and 10th Anniversary Keynote Speaker
• Thursday, January 21, 5 PM:  Workshop Night!
• Saturday, January 23, 9 AM: Reimagining Education: Polyvocal Keynote & Master Classes

In the wake of the structural and systemic racism revealed in the COVID pandemic and the recent and continued police killings, more and more schools, districts, and charter management organizations are eager to dismantle the racism in their own institutions.

This January, Harvard RIDES is offering a free intensive clinic for school leadership and equity teams on

Wednesday, January 27, 2021 and Monday, February 1, 2021.

Admission is by application only, and we will select up to eight teams from schools committed to learning how to address these questions:

• How do we work together to genuinely tackle racial inequity in our schools? What do we have to learn and to do to develop a strong Personal and Team Equity Culture?
• What should we work together on? What is a high priority, attainable goal for equity improvement that we can make this year, will be impactful, and will strengthen our equity culture?

The Diverse Charter Schools Coalition’s (DCSC) Annual Convening brings together 200 leaders from member schools and networks as well as partners from across the nation. With this year’s theme of Interrupting Inequity, you will deepen the practice of leading your school by learning from experts in the movement, examining real-world experiences, data and strategies, and sharing best practices through networking.

This live virtual event is hosted by the Charter Collaborative.

Join the National Charter Collaborative for a conversation on how pivotal charter leaders of color are to reimagining education for equity.

Their inaugural cohort of Manati Fellows will share their reflections on how important the Manati Fellowship was to leading their school communities, particularly during a global pandemic and a period of national racial reckoning. Following the Manati fellows’ thoughts, Naomi Shelton, Charter Collaborative’s incoming CEO, will moderate a panel discussion on the opportunities ahead for education in this country if we invest in supporting, sustaining, and growing charter school leaders of color.

Registration opens January 4.
