In order for Wisconsin’s students to be prepared for their futures and Wisconsin’s communities to remain strong in a global economy, it is imperative that all students graduate college and career ready. As Wisconsin’s student population becomes increasingly diverse, the persistence of disparities in the educational system p oses real challenges to opportunity and economic progress. The Leading for Equity Academy (LEA) will engage you in a deep analysis of your school so that you are equipped to thoughtfully address complex problems of equity and effectively action plan next steps to tackle persistent -- but not insurmountable -- achievement gaps, however they are manifested within your local community. The blended and distributed learning session design of this academy fosters application of learning and related plans with timely opportunities for reflection and adjustments as participants cultivate sustainable practices and mindsets back home. The overall goal of the LEA is to help leaders across Wisconsin provide schools of equity and excellence for their communities. Credit:Participants may seek credit from Viterbo University for this Academy. Facilitator: Joe Schroeder, Associate Executive Director, AWSA Cost: $305 for members and $534 for non-members Sessions: 5 sessions; 3 face-to-face, 2 virtual. Contact: [email protected] |
