Do you ever feel overwhelmed and unsure where to start? Often when we try to solve problems, we spend most of our time addressing the symptoms, rather than the underlying causes. As a result, we can expend tons of energy trying different things, but make little progress toward more equitable outcomes and engaging learning environments. There is a better way! Come learn a process for identifying what is truly at the heart of equity issues you are facing, distinguishing between symptoms and root causes, and developing high-leverage change ideas you can try next week.
