Creating a Brave Classroom: Anti-Bias and Anti-Racism Professional Development

This grant funds a tailored professional development workshop with Britt Hawthorne for MEELs (Mamaroneck Equity in Education Leaders) and building equity team members. In line with the goal of the District Equity Plan to facilitate professional development, this workshop will familiarize educators with ABAR (anti-bias/anti-racism) practices and strategies they can use to cultivate inclusive classrooms. The MEELs and equity team members will disseminate the information learned to district faculty and staff. Two follow-up sessions with Britt Hawthorne during the school year will support continued learning. She also will lead a parent session, called “Anti-Bias for Families.”
