During the 24-25 school year, 83 participants from 40 DCSC member schools gathered in our Communities of Practice (CoP) to develop resources for the field of intentionally diverse charter school practitioners.
In this Community of Practice facilitated by RootsConnectED, participants gained a shared understanding and deepened mindset around developing cultures of belonging for students; dive deep into 4 elements of culture building:
1) norm setting
2) community building approaches
3) identity work
4) inclusion
through examples, reflection, questions, and shared experiences, and; put aspects of culture into practice and record findings, barriers, and capture best practices.
Thank you to members who contributed their time, expertise, and ideas to this CoP in 2024-2025:
