Agenda
9:00 - 9:20 Welcome in Divisions and Cohorts
9:30 - 10:15 Elective Session #1
10:30 - 11:15 Elective Session #2
11:30 - 12:00 Institute Closing Session
Electives will be either WORKSHOPS, DISCUSSION GROUPS, or RACIAL AFFINITY GROUPS.
- Workshops are structured and facilitated learning experiences in which facilitators engage participants in learning new content.
- Discussion groups are unstructured spaces for dialogue about the named topic in which the facilitator holds space to ensure equity of voice.
- Racial affinity discussion space is unstructured but facilitated space to process the experience of Admin Institute 2020 and the opening of the school year. We create these separate spaces because we believe that the personal and systemic transformation required to achieve our equity vision must be done alone (doing introspective and reflective work), in affinity, and across difference.
