Diverse Charter Schools Coalition

Resource Guide – Developing Cultures of Belonging in Intentionally Diverse Schools

During the 25-26 school year, 68 participants from 34 DCSC member schools gathered in our Communities of Practice (CoP) to develop resources for the field of intentionally diverse charter school practitioners.

join a community of practice in 25-26

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

In this Community of Practice facilitated by RootsConnectED, participants

  • developed knowledge and understanding around the 4 elements of belonging;
  • built a shared understanding of a key element of belonging;
  • define the elements of effective community builders and explore their application through a chosen project pathway,
  • plan, implement, and reflect on a targeted community building initiative or professional learning experience, using feedback and data to assess impact,
  • document and share their process, challenges, and insights in a way that supports peer learning and future application.
  • contribute to a collective toolkit and engage in peer exchange at a culminating convening.
