Leading For Equity Institute   

The highly regarded Leading For Equity (LFE) Institute has guided hundreds of educators through an intensive three-day seminar to examine the intellectual and social-emotional challenges of educational equity work. An open registration LFE Institute is held annually in the Bay Area (traditionally in February) and client-specific LFE Institutes are also available.

What is the Leading for Equity Institute?

• A three-night residential institute where individuals and school teams are supported to critically reflect upon what it means to take up equity work as leaders in their local contexts. The LFE Institute provides the time and space for participants to learn more about the causes of inequities in schools, and to connect this to their own experiences and the experiences of others.

Why attend the Leading for Equity Institute?

To explore these questions:

• What are the equity issues at your school and how can you equip yourself, as a leader, to diagnose and address them?
• How can professional development at your school be more connected to the challenges revealed in the school's data?
• What are some ways to build trust, have productive dialogue and take informed action with members of different racial, socio-economic, or language groups in your school community?

The Leading For Equity Institute costs $800 per participant. This fee includes program registration, lodging at Westerbeke Ranch, and food for the duration of the Institute.

"...I must say this is the most valuable, humanizing, uplifting, empowering, wonderfully frightening experience of my life. It led to a blossoming in my belief in change, and in my commitment to make a difference - most importantly - in the lives of the students (each and every one) that I work with."
