Over the years we have been asked to consider offering an institute for educators who hold the position of administrator. We are creating that space this summer! If you are a school administrator or board member, please consider taking part in this experience. Our curriculum will be similar to our regular institutes as this space is about individual and personal work. However, this opportunity will allow administrators to share experiences with others that have similar demands in their institutions. We encourage you to consider taking part either individually or with a team of other administrators or board members from your school. On the last day of the institute we will focus on issues that are specific to school leadership through interactive exercises.
Examples of School Administrators that may consider registering:
Head of School
Assistant Head of School
Diversity Practitioner
Business Officer
Director of Development
Director of Admission
Board Member
Dean of Students
Division Director
Director of Technology
Board Chair
Alumni Director
Athletic Director
***Please share this with any school administrators or board members who partner with you in your work as educators.***

The Race Institute for K-12 Educators is a workshop for K-12 teachers, counselors and administrators of all races who want to better understand why race matters in schools. It is for educators who want to build their skills and competencies to understand and challenge the racism around them -- and in their own heads and hearts. As schools challenge themselves to build racial proficiency, individual educators often need a space to support their own developing professionalism around race issues. This is that space.
WORDS FROM RACE INSTITUTE PARTICIPANTS
“Thank you for providing an opportunity for me to dig deeper into my own racial identity, to help me find my voice to talk about race with my family, friends and colleagues, I’ve known this for awhile…I’m ready now!”
“The Race Institute helped me reflect on my racial identity. I will continue to do that without that consistent honest reflection, I would never be able to build honest genuine relationships with my students – our relationships are what drive real learning and growth.”
“This was a very different experience for me. I have had other trainings where I felt “chastised” but wasn’t given anything to do to move beyond those feelings. The Race Institute workshop stirred up a lot of emotions but I am leaving feeling more positive about how to approach things.”
“This was by far the most useful and impactful professional development I have had done in many years- thank you.”
“It is a powerful reminder of the importance of coordinated work on race and the dynamics of race facing schools.”
“This was the first race and diversity workshop I have been to where I left learning a lot about me, learning a lot about racial identity, and having tools to move forward. It is safe and deeply valuable self-assessment. Thank you for pushing me!”
“I would tell people to come to the workshop as a way to combat feelings of white guilt and understand–how to converse more openly and honestly about race. How to see the ways race issues touch everyone. ”
“I would recommend this to others as it was a great balance among personal work, group work, outlining the issues and tools for change.”
