Every Voice Matters: Leading for Equity and Personalization Through Equitable Community Engagement

Are you frustrated by constant pushback from parents, students, and community members on your major initiatives? Well, it’s time to disrupt business-as-usual approaches to involvement and try a more sustainable and powerful approach: equitable community engagement. By drawing on lessons learned
from Great Schools Partnership’s multi-year community engagement initiative, participants will explore the integral relationship between equity and engagement and a point-by-point rationale for centering equitable community engagement in schools. In this interactive session, participants will reflect on and calibrate their engagement-related beliefs and practices to create policies and practices that increase access and opportunity for all stakeholders.
