A powerpoint presentation prepared by PPS Office of Equity, and additional explanation of the 4 agreements protocol in the framework.

Introduction to Courageous Conversations about Race framework.

Listed below are materials used in previous CCAR sessions. During 2019-20, some meetings may take place at Beaumont (to be determined). Parents typically meet in the Alameda library, with childcare in the cafeteria. Parents for Racial Equity meetings occur 6pm -8pm with dinner and childcare provided, starting at 5:45. These dynamics result in children of color experiencing worse academic outcomes than their white peers, and they harm the safety and belonging of children of color in our schools (See All Hands Raised website for data on academic outcomes and PPS Successful Schools Survey website for data on belonging and safety). This critical work addresses the harmful effects of historical and current institutional racism. Currently, Alameda parent volunteers coordinate and facilitate the meetings.Īcross PPS each school has its own path in racial equity. PPS leadership changed, restructured district departments, and that Office ceased to exist as of May 2018.

Initially, facilitation support came from staff at PPS Office of Equity and Partnerships. The effort started in 16-17 and has held 17 gatherings/workshops over the past 3 years.

With knowledge and experience gained in this group, parents can engage in their own racial equity journey and support racial equity efforts in their school and community. This group provides parents with educational opportunities and community to build shared understanding of race and racism, including in our families, school and district.
