Leaders of Color: A Professional Learning Community
This program is an opportunity for educators of color to explore their leadership visions, opportunities and aspirations within and beyond independent schools. For experienced, emerging and questioning leaders of color at all stages of their careers, this yearlong series will offer participants time and support to:
- Clarify their visions and goals as educators,
- Identify core leadership competencies and challenges,
- Design their own professional growth plans, and
- Network and build vital personal and professional relationships.
With the intention of knowing and sustaining ourselves in our careers, we will lean into case studies; reflect on our own experiences; talk frankly about the challenges, opportunities and expectations for leaders of color; recognize our personal growth edges; and drill down on the skills and knowledge we have and need to thrive on our diverse professional paths. For educators of color who want to be effective, transformative and ever growing in their profession, these working conversations will include all aspects of who we are as leaders and the complexity of the communities in which we work.
