We invite all faculty and administrators to join us for the first ISACS Diversity Summit as we welcome all who share a commitment to diversity, equity, and justice in our schools. The Summit will provide an opportunity to learn new strategies, understand current research while considering school culture, challenges, and possible steps for advancing our work in areas of diversity, equity, and justice. Participants will be provided time to hear from leading practitioners, connect with other committed educators, celebrate successes, renew the commitments, and return to school with an informed plan for action. We hope you will join us to share the energy of this conversation.
