Local educators delve into diversity, equity issues affecting schools

K-12 teacher leaders, instructional coaches and administrators are invited to a four-day series to learn about diversity and equity issues at schools, along with best practices to share in classrooms.

The event, called Culturally and Linguistically Responsive (CLR) Teaching, will take place Feb. 15, March 1, March 22, and April 23 from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm at the Santa Clara County Office of Education, 1290 Ridder Park Drive, in San Jose.

Each event will focus on CLR topics. In the first, “Foundations of Culturally & Linguistically Responsive Pedagogy,” facilitators will discuss culture, language diversity, bias and privilege in learning and more.

The series’ aim is to encourage conversation about equity issues at school, to reflect on current CLR practices and share them in the classroom and to build a network of regional CLR leaders. For more information about the CLR series, click here.
