Resource Guide: Strategies to Disrupt Bias in Educator Talent Decisions

In th 2020-2021 school year, more than 70 participants from 21 DCSC member schools gathered in our Communities of Practice (CoP) to develop resources for the field of diverse-by-design education practitioners. 

Connect as leaders. Grow expertise. Bring justice to education.

Like many industries, the education sector can be oversaturated with leaders who do not reflect the racial and social diversity of our broader community. Kevin Bryant and Ron Rapatalo of Edgility Consulting discussed their perspectives on how to reduce bias when hiring and retaining educators of color and of other non-dominant identities. In the wake of a global pandemic, DCSC members gathered in a Community of Practice to address the challenge of being competitive enough to attract diverse talent while working with limited, finite resources.
